Nothing stopped me until I was handcuffed and taken to jail. It was such a scary thing. And I can tell you is an expensive ordeal to go through not to mention embarrassing. I was forced to get counseling and do community service. It was humiliating.

The best advise I can give you is to get help now because it only gets worse. It is very addictive. At first it's small stuff then it goes to more stuff and riskier stealing. The best way to stop is to have a buddy that you can call when you feel like shoplifting and letting them talk you out of it. Along with therapy there is life after shoplifting.

if you want to talk pm me .
