Don't feel bad ~ I could get addicted to lint if I wasn't careful.

Sheeesh. I too have a very addictive personality ~ I'm a recovering alcoholic/addict and I always have to be careful. I've been in and out of therapy all my life and it HAS done me a world of good.
It probably would be a good idea if you saw an addiction therapist. They're equipped to deal with all kinds of addictions. Best of luck and please let us know how you're doing from time to time, ok?? We really do care.

God bless. Hugs, Lee
