kc, that’s good advice, but like Tiddler says, it’s hard to follow. I can’t go to the store and buy just one thing (grocery store). I can’t wait three days to buy something if it’s screaming BUY ME NOW, HURRY UP in my mind. Meds make it a bit easier but it’s still a challenge. We did stop buying food that we wouldn’t eat in a few days because we got disgusted throwing out rotten vegetables. If only buying other things gave the same type of disgust, we might have a chance of curbing the behaviour.
Having said that, we ALMOST ALMOST bought new iPhones this week (after going off plans on prepaid cells) but my husband actually did do the math and we decided we didn’t want to waste that much money a year, committed over 3 years, so we’re staying on prepaid. We have notebook computers and can take them along easily when we travel, there are a lot of free WiFi cafes these days. And we still have cellphones (although mine has been for too many swims and is ready to give up). Chalk one up for us on that.
