Clutter affects us all: stressed time-poor professionals, couples rowing over their junk, older people with a lifetime's accumulated possessions, people working from home, growing families and people facing life changes such as divorce or bereavement. As we all consume and acquire more and more stuff, we feel increasingly overwhelmed by our possessions.

The author of Addiction & Grief examines clutter addiction and shows how readers can overcome it. Is your landscaping impeccable? Are you presentable when you leave the house? Would your neighbors ever suspect, given outward appearances, that inside your house is utter chaos with heaps and heaps of stuff? Are you overwhelmed and ashamed by the mess, but haven't a clue what to do about it even though you've tried dozens of times to clean up your act? You may be a clutter junkie. In an encouraging and honest way, Rogers helps readers to identify the symptoms of clutter addiction, which is simply a smokescreen for more serious underlying problems, and she provides solutions modeled on the twelve steps and traditions that originated with AA. Clutter Junkie No More takes a serious look at clutter addiction and helps readers to take down the wall, bit by bit, and day by day, to lead happier, more productive lives.
