My name is James and I’m an addict. Money is my drug of choice. When I have it, I spend most of it on things that are unnecessary. When I don’t have enough of it, I hate myself for my spending habits. Bills are piling up and it’s my own fault. My issues with money have hurt my relationship with friends, family, and my business is suffering. It’s part of the reason Will moved out. It’s gotten better at times but never for very long. I took over this business so I could prove to myself and others that I could be successful at something big and important. I’m currently in therapy trying to figure out why I continue to sabotage myself. Do I not think I’m deserving of being good with money and therefore having trusting relationships with those I love? It’s certainly possible this could be a self-esteem issue. Whatever the reason, this process will require a lot of digging deep. I’m ready to put this nonsense behind me so that I can one day say, truthfully, that I’ve spent my money wisely.
