I've been having problems recently with addiction.

No, not drugs or smoking or beer. I don't like the smell of smoking or the pointy needles or the kick-in-the-face beverages. I'm addicted to spending money somehow...
Whenever I feel a little bit down, I tend to find something to spend on just so I have that 'oh, shiny new thingy' feel. I need to stop, and it's really hurting my wallet. Lol. I've cut down on spending these past 3 weeks, but I find myself spending again just now. (Hence the post).

But anyways, I'm coping and I'm working on suppressing my impulses. Do you have any hurtful addictions that you realize but just can't help? What have you been doing to work against it?
