Expertise:  I can answer questions from people who shoplift. I can't answer the question "why do I shoplift". I can only answer questions from people who want to stop and need someone to talk to about it. Shoplifting can become an addiction and needs to be treated like any other obsession. Good people shoplift but often wonder why they can't stop. You can stop. Shoplifting is a choice. Sometimes getting a job is the answer instead of letting stores pay your expenses!

Experience in the area
I started shoplifting many years ago and now understand that it is a very unhealthy way to cope with circumstances. I am working on changing this part of my life and would be glad to support others who want to do the same. Shoplifting is not a joke and it is not a prank. It is a crime that can develop into an obsession. If you want to stop, I would be glad to listen and give a few pointers. But actually stopping is going to require more than someone answering a question online.

Education/Credentials
