Hello everyone! I have an addiction to opiods, and chocolate. But my newly found addiction is to stealing. I was recently diagnosed cleptomaniac. Anyone else have similarities they would like to express?

Welcome Patti, glad to have a new member and one who is willing to share.

Responded to your other post. Not sure what I found is helpful, but feel free to ask any questions you don't understand.

Being diabetic, type 2, I can not have chocolate. A kid was selling them outside my grocery store. I couldn't say no to him. Thanks to this program, I took them to my bridge club to share with others, it wasn't safe alone with me.

This prayer is based on a section of the Big Book of Alcoholics
Anonymous:

Thank you for keeping me straight yesterday. Please help me
stay straight today.
For the next twenty-four hours, I pray for knowledge of Your will
for me only, and the power to carry that through.
Please free my thinking of self-will, self-seeking, dishonesty,
and wrong motives.
Send me the right thought, word, or action. Show me what my
next step should be. In times of doubt and indecision, please
send Your inspiration and guidance.
I ask that You might help me work through all my problems, to
Your glory and honor.

My self-will is what gets me into difficulties, when I am trying to
follow what my Higher Power would have me do I find life is so
much simpler. I can only work on my addiction by committing to
to give it my all, one day at a time and with His help I will do it.

So glad you reached out and please, keep coming back!

Your friend in recovery, SunnyGirl
