Theoretically: You never get over an addiction or obsession. You can use behavior modification techniques and/or hypnosis to reduce their impact on you as much as possible. From aa and research we know that once you are addicted you are addicted for life, even if you are sober for years. So see a psychologist and get help reducing the cravings to buy hamsters if it is something you feel is hurting you.
