Over the years there have been several threads started by a CDer who is contemplating a purge, for whatever reason. Typical advice given by many including myself is to pack up and store the wardrobe instead of tossing everything. For the record, I purged 3 times, the last was 20 years ago. I wish I had some of that stuff back, but they were real purges - everything gone.
We always come back eventually, don't we? And start rebuilding the wardrobe.
I'm getting to a point, bear with me. I remember when I quit smoking, also 20 years ago. It would not have worked if I just put the pack of cigarettes in a drawer and "quit smoking". No, it was necessary to NOT have them around, so that I wouldn't give in at a weak moment.
So I'm wondering, with your femme items in storage, it would seem easy to give in to the urge to crossdress, unless you stored your things in a place more remote, harder to get to.
My question: has anyone actually purged by placing your things in storage rather than discarding them? Was it always in your mind that they could be easily retrieved? Did you? What's your "I purged by placing my things in storage" story?
