There are many paths to recovery from compulsive spending, but I only know of one that worked for me and I tried many, lots of many, and that's why I rail against the big names in the personal finance money management world who profess to have the answer to getting out of debt, because there's a big difference between helping those of us who can stop by force of will and those of us who are afflicted with a broken shutoff valve inside.
