It occurred to me that I'm probably thinking the same things a gambling addict thinks. The stakes may not be as high for yard sale-ing, but the patterns and emotions are probably similar. And I lose far more often than I win. For every good yard sale, there are about 20 duds.
When gamblers win, they are hooked even deeper. It's no different for a yard sale addict. I've found THE MOST AMAZING THINGS at yard sales. Quitting for me would be next to impossible.
Should I be looking into 12 step programs? Is there any help out there for those of us addicted to yard sale-ing? I'm only half joking.
