My friend, let's called her Ann, has a serious rug problem, and has recently started to deal in rugs. I don't know if any of you can help, or have had similar rug problems yourselves, but the situation is beginning to spiral out of control.
Ann first got into rugs when she started University. On leaving home for the first time, she took her first rugs from her Mum's house. She said that the rugs gave her a 'warm and pleasant' feeling inside... but at this point she had no idea how addictive rugs could be. As she got more into her university degree, she started to experiment more with rugs, and fell in with a crowd of regular rug users. Before she knew it, she was spending most of her spare cash on rugs - mostly soft rugs at first (or so called 'gateway' rugs), then increasingly more 'exotic' rugs.
Things came to crisis point when she went on holiday to Morocco, where she met a rug dealer for the first time. It wasn't long before the law got involved. Despite having too much baggage already, she attempted to carry some rugs out of the country, but her baggage allowance was found to be over-weight, and she was fined. Shortly after this experience, she tried to kick her rug addiction. There are only two known ways to do this, Method-One and Method-Two. Method-One is highly risky. It involves the use of carpet tiles, but is basically just swapping one rug for another if you ask me. And the main problem with Method-one is that it is almost as hard to kick as the rug addiction itself! Method-Two is basically cold turkey... laminate wooden flooring.
Anyway, she laminated her whole apartment, but it wasn't long before she was back on the rugs. One day I came round to her flat to find her passed-out on a particularly large quantity of rugs. When she came round she said she had merely gone for a doze, but it was clear to me that she had seriously over-dozed on rugs. I then discovered that she has lodged an application to open a small rug emporium and start dealing in rugs herself....
Can anyone offer any advice on how to beat rug addiction?
Thanks in advance,
TM
