Shoplifting

2022-02-27

I’d love to hear (or share) on the topic of a shoplifting addiction. Imagine getting clean, and sober from drugs and alcohol but then forming a new habit. It’s equally detrimental but far less understood. Maybe kleptomania; maybe not. Is this an addiction? If you can’t stop (even after getting caught) I’d say it’s a problem. Everything from groceries to designer bags and anything in between. Can you be addicted to stealing?
