You posted that your shoplifting isn't a compulsion...are you sure? It sounds like it is kind of compulsive.

I can understand the temptation you're dealing with. Problem is, eventually you will get caught. You really will. That would be not only embarrassing, but it could become expensive and a big, huge problem in your life.

The other thing I'm concerned about is that while you're stealing small stuff now, I'm afraid you will become more confident and not be able to resist stealing larger or more expensive items. That could seriously land you in jail.
