"justified stealing"

I have had this really demented justifaction for stealing recently, here it is:

( fill in the name of a retail store) wont miss whatever item i happen to take that day,..they make millions.....!! AND i would NEVER steal from someone i know or any family members..

ridiclous isnt it!!

I have been stealing since I was a teenager - stopped completely for much of my 20's, started back up again a few years ago and just very recently stopped again.


My story is long,..thats a readers digest version, if any one is interested in more please feel free to ask. I happy to share..

I know how you feel. I justify the same way that you do, but i have found that i do steal from people I know. The worst thing that i do is take from the collection basket at church. I HATE MYSELF FOR IT! Its so hard for me to sleep at night and think about how I am so addicted to this. I willingly choose to steal, but I love the feeling and part of me doesnt want to give it up!!!! my newest addiction is changing the prices on items so I feel like i am not stealing, but in reality I am. :(

oh, it gets even easier: company x is a retailer which impacts the environment terribly, and is run by elitist white guys that make millions of dollars a year, and get severance packages (getting fired) of $400,000.

the commercial machine needs to be stopped, and anyone doing anything to buck it is doing right.

i can justify it any way that i need.

Ah the mantra of all shoplifters, When someone makes billions will they miss pounds?? It makes it easier, but if you need a way to make it easier you must know it's wrong. My personal one is to only steal things which are worthless, after all I only wante dthe high, so I used to steal the little tags that say what sizes things are.......are it's good to be pathetic.

I am the same way and would love to hear your story. I would be shocked to see that your story and mine may be very similar. Only I never stopped because I told myself that I could whenever I wanted to but really I couldn't

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
