Admittance is the First Step!

Admittance, according to Merriam and Webster, the act or process of admitting. Sometimes when you're in denial, its hard to come to terms with the idea of you having a problem. Where am I going with this you might ask? Well, I think I have a spending problem... lets be frank. The moment money touches my hand, I instantly have to spend it! It's like a raging fire in the palms of my hand and I have to get it out!! This subject is truly hard to write about being that I'm 31 years of age.
