Addiction

I am addicted. Not to smoking because since the third of April I haven’t touched a cigarette again. (feeling proud!) Not to drinking because I don’t like taste or the effect of alcohol. Not to gambling, I don’t like to gamble with my hard earned money. But I am addicted and BIG time!

¨Hi everybody, my name is Sarah and I am addicted.¨

¨Hi Sarah….¨ Reply of my fellow addicts….

¨It is really hard. It’s a decease,¨ I explain. ¨I know it affects my everyday being. I feel sad when I don’t do it.¨ Heads nodding up and down, agreeing and understanding.

¨Even my husband and dear friends have to suffer from it. But even though, I cannot stop, I will not stop, I won’t ever stop. It’s an addiction I and my friends and family have to live with.¨ People look at me confused.

¨Yes, I understand know. I have acknowledged the fact I am addicted. And that is good. But I also have acknowledged that I will never be able to stop buying stuff online REALLY ridiculously cheap!!

¨My name is Sarah and I am addicted to secondhand internet shopping. (Especially MARKTPLAATS (dutch ebay, it’s online treasure hunting)

¨And my favorite online addiction, find? Hands down this lamp and all of my buttons!’’

Second best find?
