News of Shoplifting Addiction

Does anyone have information on this? Does anyone agree that Xanax can lead to shoplifting, thieving, raids, etc?

is truly the worst. I used to be a compulsive shoplifter until last year when I was caught and arrested two times in a week. The second time I was in jail for a day. It was one of the worst experiences of my life, literally like being in hell. I missed my court date for the second case and cops came to my college and coordinate with my professor to arrest me after class. ...

I'm trying to figure myself out, and currently there are many things I do which are problematic. Stealing is one of them. I'm wondering if its just a symptom of a greater issue, or if I could have a shoplifting addiction.

So I took one out and walked out of the store paying only for the cake, not the candle. I thought it was harmless ...

I got addicted to shoplifting while in the military. Its sooo easy to steal food at the commissary it's insane! I got into shoplifting because I was broke at the time, and starving. yes the military feeds you sort of, you still have to pay for your food, and I could not afford it. SO I started stealing.

Well we all know what happens when you realise "Hey! That was easy, and I didn't get ...

Hey guys, new here.
So I am a 19 year old college student. I was never into stealing as a child or even during high school. Started during beginning of college. I tried it once, got away with it, didn't do it again.
