I used to be a hoarder but not to the level that Richie's article is about but I do know a few people who are that bad. I can't think of a pill or potion that would help though. I'm not even a materialistic person but the problem is emotional attachment. Once I realised that it wasn't the objects themselves I was attached to but the associated memories I was able to start letting things go. It took me several years to fully realise why I was doing it.
But that is what life has become about, acquiring more and more stuff and always having the very latest gadgets. As The Apprentice said in the post before mine we don't make stuff anymore we just acquire it. I don't remember this hoarding being such a problem in the past. Maybe because we weren't obsessed with stuff, we just bought what we needed.
