Gapaholics Anonymous (G.A.)

For those of you who know I like to shop, this will come as no surprise to you. Others might be a smidgen shocked. What I am about to tell you is a major break-through in my life, as they say admitting the problem is the first step. Having said that, here goes:

Jessica: Hi, my name is Jessica.

Group: Hi Jessica.

Jessica: I am a Gap-aholic. It has been 2 weeks since I was the store and 21.5 hours since I looked on line.

Group: Admitting your problem is the first step: way to go!

Is there some sort of rehab for this tragic character flaw???

Hey, it's probably cheaper (less destructive) than being an N.A. (Nordstrom... not narcotics, people.)

Good to see you online! Wish I could see you (or even talk to you) in person!

Anderson is totally dancing to your play list. :)

I'm Kelly and I'm also a recovering G.A. For me, it started in high school. All the other girls were wearing cute sweater sets from Gap. I thought, what's the harm? Soon I was hooked. I just couldn't stay out of there. Before I knew it, I was stealing Gap items out of my sister's closet. It wasn't pretty.

Still, years later, I struggle. Except now Gap Kids is the siren song I must avoid. Stay strong and remember to lean on those who love you during this difficult time.

I just wanted to add that Gap is a gateway addiction. Soon you'll be in Banana Republic justifying a $90 top. I went down that road, Jessica. And it wasn't pretty. I'm eight months clean there (only because my pregnancy forced me to stop). But I just looked online. I'm so weak!

perhaps we should start a self-help group over lunch at the mall?
