Hello Goffredo

I am recovering alcoholic with about the same sober time as your partner, I also indulged in shopping at the early stages of recovery, then it was food for a while, my point is that we kind of flip flop from one thing to another.

These issues do come up in the rooms of AA/NA, I have heard many people share about other addictions that they indulged in when sober. She may or may not be aware of it, I recommend leaving her alone, she will figure it out in her own time, maybe she needs to max out the credits cards first, but as an addict I need to get it before I can hear anyone else.

If this affect your financial arangement as you are living together, maybe addressing it gently, but as long as she is paying her part of the bills etc.. I would stay out of it.

Good luck,

Love, Rose
