The Twelve-Steps Work For Clutter Too

I found a Twelve-step yahoo group for clutters (Messies). I don't know why I didn't think of my clutter in that way before. I AM powerless over it. I went to the Messies Anonymous website and ordered a book that is written for this very topic.

What I've read already is very insightful. To be understood and to realize that my "tendencies" and "traits" or not unique to just me. There are many others who have the same thoughts and issues too.

One of the first things I came upon and have been contemplating is: my possessions are my drug of choice. Acquiring "stuff" makes me feel good .... temporarily. In the same way that an alcoholic feels good when they drink (at first) . Wow!
