With trust, there was honesty | ADHD Information

Hi Y'all! Tonight I discovered a new side of me! I know for some of us shopelifting & risk taking in general is stimulating. This weekend,our sub-division and many other in Tampa,FL have decieded to have a gigantic "yard sale" at their clubhouses. Everything is donated and proceeds help keep fees down. We've lived here 3 yrs. and are still blown away that the clubhouse is open from 9am till sometimes11pm.

Ok, I'll get to the point. The stuff that will be sold sat 22, is some mean ass stuff and everyone has access to it! Earlier, me & my husband had stopped in to check on the refinishing of the pool when we spotted it. Out of curiosity, we took a look-see. I had a big handbag with me, and I found  brand new bathroom accessaries that I always wanted. Keep in mind we have seen pple steal and heard them brag about it, but most are honest   My husband just assumed I was going to bag that and whatever else would fit.Deep in my heart I knew if we were lucky enough to live here, where hardly anything gets stollen, a beautiful pool & jaccuzi, pool table, books & tapes to borrow,just so many awesome things to do and a safe neighborhood, how could I possibly take anything. That would be so wrong! I don't know if it could be an add thing or not. Yes there was a little excitement running through my head, but I shut it off, put the stuff down and said"if it's there sat. I will PAY FOR IT Also,I'm now on adderall XL FINALLY 30mgs twice a day, and my thinking is clearer. As you might haveguesed, I have shopelifted in the past for that rush.(also got caught) Now I just drive fast!

In the past, I stole from neighbors, when we lived in an appartment that got so bad, you either stole from them or them from you. I felt thats what I deserved at that time, for doing other addish things and creating a mess[before DX] Now I have no desire to take anything from anyone. Garden things are left out all the time and no one bothers them. The honesty and values I have now, may make me think before I do something stupid & wrong. Does this make sence since pple are trusting here. Why ruin it? Has anyone else flt the same?

Back when I was a kid I use to steal just to do it got caught a lot still didn't care moved to a new town when I was young about 14 or 15 went into the store to buy hairspray when I got to the counter the guy says to me sorry but we are closed. I was so upset that all the lights were on and I had been in there looking around for a good 20 mins for the spary I liked then tried to pay for it just for him to say we are closed I went to put the spray back then said F it and that was the last time I stole. For the first year here in the new town then I would only go to the store with my mom just to make sure I would not get the temptation to steal again once the feeling was gone it felt so great to be an honest person. I learned at a young age to stop stealing for others it can be harder. I hope that you can stay an honest person and always make sure to pay for whatever it is you have. This is helpful when you have kids.
