I think I beat my shopping addiction
If you look at my username I collect dolls and other toys... this hobby has been very expensive for me although it is also therapeutic for me and a good way to forget other problems however the last few years it's been causing money problems for me since I was addicted buying expensive dolls from websites like ebay (expensive as in 100-200 euros for a vintage doll mint in box). Right now I only buy dolls if I see some for VERY good prices and also I have a goal for a surgery that I am saving for so everytime I have a doll craving... I try to remind myself what's more important and for me getting that surgery is more important than a quick dopamine fix with a purchase.
