It will not be easy, for no person wants to admit that he or she is not in control of every aspect of his or her life. A sober alcoholic or drug addict doesn t take alcohol or drugs into his body or house. A recovering overeater doesn t ingest more food than he needs. A recovering clutterer clutterer doesn t let clutter take back his life once he has won a few battles with it. It is a war.
Clutter comes into our lives every day.
We get mail that we don t need to keep. We get bills that have to live somewhere until they are paid. Things wear out and break and get replaced by new ones. The newspaper comes every day. Eventually we learn to view these events as calls to arms.
