Well i'm new to this website so i hope i'm doing this right. I've just recently told the first person in my life about my problem. I estimated that i have been stealing for 10 years I think i am finally facing the problem as my boyfriend and i have recently been discussing moving in together and beginning a life together. i can't imagine my fate if i don't take care of this now. i'm feeling a lot of shame, and fear. it does help to read about others that have this problem. i have a good job, a loving family/boyfriend, and a healthy life to live. i don't want to do this anymore. i've been reading that it likely stems from something in my past. the only thing i can think of is a bitter divorce my parents went thru beginning when i was 2 yrs old. my bf is very understanding and supportive but i can't help but think i've let him down. i plan on seeing a counselor beginning this week. i hate the thouht that some people never feel truly "cured" of this.

i'm rambling on, i guess i just wanted to talk to others out there that may be more progressed in their "treatment".
