    Scrap Addiction

    http://www.scrapmetalforum.com/day-l...tml#post225893



    Out of the situation above I discovered I have an addiction . The item I lost out on I figure was worth $60 or above
    not really a big deal in the scrap finding realm .Yet I was feeling - depressed - feeling low - sad - I just figured - - what ever --
    next day I was on my rout and found 2 metal cook trays and a heavy chain from a motorcycle . As fast as I saw the items
    a feeling of pleasure came over me - My well being was elevated in two blinks of an eye .

    Rationally I do the math -
    2 metal cook trays and a heavy chain from a motorcycle value is at best $1
    Lamp architecture $60 or above

    It became clear - I have Scrap Addiction , as I sit here typing - I have a Scrap Addiction .
    I clearly know how to generate money from scrap . but I wonder if the emotional addiction
    that drives me is holding me back . Wile It can be looked at with a bit of humor, the big picture
    is if a scrap find of a dollar brings me a well being feeling then I need retrain myself to differentiate from
    the Quest of pleasure of the hunt & the real money that scrap delivers as a business owner .
