I can sit down to watch the news and end up owning a pasta machine. I can stop by the mall to window shop and come out with three outfits and several things for the house. I can glance at a mail-order catalog, and in the time it takes to go online, Adirondack chairs are heading my way. I plan my route through the store, make my purchase and get out as quickly as possible. I've blocked shopping channels, and a trash can is close to the mailbox. Make Spend- to give in to my impulsive desires, I ask myself if I'd accept this behavior from my children. Visual- izing me having a temper tantrum is a disgusting image that brings me to my senses. Why? I see what I like, and WHAM! Something goes off in my head insisting that I need it right this minute; that I'm entitled to it and pity the poor soul who tries to prevent me from having it. While my compulsive tenden- cies will forever be part of my per- sonality, thankfully I've found ways to quiet them. Self-Parenting. When tempted Slippery Places. Shopping channels, compelling advertise- ments and mail-order catalogs are 'slippery places' for me. Viewing these sets me up to fall flat on my face. If I stay away, I avoid tempta- tion. When I have a specific need, Self-talk. When con- fronted with temptation, I talk to myself. "If this wasn't on sale, would you still buy it?" (If the answer is no, and it usu- ally is, I pass.) "Just go home and think about it." (I rarely return.) "Don't you already have something that will do just as well?" (I usual- ly do.) "You don't have to buy this just because you can; no one really cares." (Reality check.) The Saving Antidote. I've found ing Difficult. For me, carrying a credit card or checkbook is just too convenient and potentially lethal. Instead, I carry only enough cash to meet my anticipated needs for the day. This forces me to plan ahead and helps to avoid a compulsive pur- chase. feelings of remorse and guilt the way overspending does. The Root Cause. The unrelent- ing desire to acquire things is often masking the real issues. Discover- ing that my compulsive tendencies were rooted in my need for approval allowed me to deal with that issue effectively.
