Now, I've been shoplifting for years and never been caught. I've never felt guilty about it, so I guess I just lack a morality when it comes to stealing. But this past week made me realize that there are real consequences to my actions and not just those that'll only affect me.

I think I have a problem. I've never considered Kleptomania seriously before, but now I'm starting to worry. I can't stop myself from stealing, whether it be from a major corporation or a small mom and pop convenience store.

Do any of you know of any popular programs for Kleptomaniacs, kind of like an AA replica? How could I find a local one that may not be known about on a national scale? And most of all, do any of you have a similar problem? I know most of you are not against stealing, and neither am I. But it's the dosage that makes the poison.

Any advice?

Kleptomania is actually kind of rare. You literally cannot stop yourself from stealing anything that's not bolted down. Things you don't even want like the scanner from the cash register or the stand that holds all the sales flyers. With all do respect, I think you simply lack control. Only steal the things you NEED for now. Nothing that you want. Give it a few weeks and then reevaluate.

Sometimes I’ll walk right out of the store and throw whatever I stole away in the outside trash. I rarely take something I actually need. This is what leads me to believe I need to make a change

Made the same mistake the other day. I was in another state so not planning on returning lol. Almost had run in with LP at target too. I was out the parking lot by the time he was outside looking for me. If you aware of the problem it’s probably not as serious as you think.
