Welcome to the site, Tiffa.
Well you could live in my area. I went to nine different stores on a rotating basis - trying not to draw attention to my purchases.
Yeah, that worked really well for me. Oh, boy.
It is possible to stop. It helps me to take it one day at a time, plan my days in the mornings, pray, go to a meeting, read, come on SR, list my gratitude and review my day at the end.
I agree with "be willing to do whatever it takes." Congratulations on your new life.
