I too have bought allot of food and other goods and when I mention this to anyone, they minimize it, make fun of me or just ignore it, which sometimes makes me isolate and I feel alone which can also be a trigger, which is why it's so wonderful to have found this forum and i feel the support of other people who know what's going on behind the scenes.
I too think of addictions and how chaotic it will get if things get out of control in the financial system.
I am here also to help and share and relate. We need to help each other.
Thanks again for your post!
Hi deb003,

I understand about those that don't listen making me feel like 'screw them'
but then I meditate on it and talk to my sponsor. (he's more Wilcoxian than Deagle-ish) I then put on my smiling face and head back to meetings to share my experience strength and hope with a good pitch and be there for newcomers. At the pre and post meeting-meetings I blast anyone that'll listen with the latest 'If I read it on the Internet it must be true' info, we have a good laugh and I go home and work on my preps.

Aloha
