Lately I've been hearing a lot about how glp1's are helping people quit smoking and possibly drinking. It supposedly affects the dopamine/reward center of the brain. Has anyone experienced or heard of this? I wonder if it would help shopping addiction?

It will cost me over $3000 in fees and taxes. I am making over 20 payments a month to affirm, afterpay, klarna and debt collectors for past credit cards. I'm scared I'll spend the money and not pay things off.

I find that when something is almost sold out or limited edition I obsess over it. I absolutely have to have it. If there's only one of something on poshmark I obsess over it. If I find several of the same thing on poshmark I save them to my likes and then I usually no longer want it. I don't really think about it anymore. This can be a problem at goodwill and thrift stores though. If I see something I want at a thrift store I take a picture and Google search the image. If I find at least one of the same thing online I screenshot it. I probably won't want it as badly after that.

Just because you have made money on poshmark or ebay doesn't mean it's a free pass to use the credits/funds to buy more clothes/things! I'm trying not to do this.

Just because something pretty exists doesn't mean I have to have it.

I take screenshots and photos of things I want. Half of the time when I look at it a few days later I don't want it anymore.

When I want to buy something I remind myself how I am overwhelmed by the mountains of clothes and shoes ect that I'm trying to get rid of on poshmark and ebay.

I imagine said thing on/in the pile of things.

I ask myself do I want this thing now or do I want a house in the future.

I ask myself do I want to give this corporation my money. Do I want to trade the money that I worked hours for at a job I hate for the thing.

Hope this helps.

That pretty candle, cute top, or pretty comforter doesn't have to be in my possession.
