My unusual addiction...  Part 1

Part 1
 
Here a tale of my unusual addiction  
Never before told in public I will  
now for the first time reveal an addiction  
that I have had from my early twenties  
into my late thirties  
most of you will think it a harmless addiction  
and in a way it was but it was an addiction  
nonetheless and took time away that in in retrospect  
could have been spent much more productively  
what was this addiction you ask  
well it was an addiction to buying jewelry  
in particular sterling silver rings  
I guess it would be considered under the category  
of shopping addiction but to me it was so much more  
than that  
each ring I bought was the most beautiful and magical I had ever seen at the time of purchase,  
which was also the time of the most intense high of  
my addiction  
I had a few places where I could find these rings at such  
good prices (hello discount counter tj maxx) that this  
addiction never really impacted me financially but like I said  
it took a lot of time away from more productive pursuits.  
After a while I had accumulated a shameful amount of rings and  
most anybody would have asked "why does one woman need sooooo  
many rings? I also had to keep my purchases and trips secret from family because they also would have asked me  
"why do you need another ring? you just bought one 3 days ago? the trips made to the store in secret were very intense and I definitely  
experienced some sort of high when I indulged in them.  
 
 
 
 
 
author's note:  this story isn't finished yet, but because of time restraints, I will have to add to it at a later time which I will try to do soon :)
