The sugars are here speaking straight into your ears.
I'm Steve Allman.
I'm Cheryl strayed.
This is dear sugars.
Oh, dear song won't you please share some little sweetness with me?
I check my bell eyes every day oh, and the sugar you see my way.
Hi, Steve.
Hi, Cheryl.
So today we're gonna talk about spending addictions.
Yeah.
You know, I'm so glad we're doing this, because when it comes to spending addictions, we have trouble recognizing that it's not just being a shopaholic and it's fun and so forth.
There are real addictions out there.
Don't muddy the waters with your petty little problem.
But it's not petty.
It's huge for some people, as we know from our inbox.
Right.

We're gonna talk to somebody today, Buzz Bissinger, who has really struggled with this and wrote beautifully about this in GQ magazine.
