Does anyone else have an impulsive spending habit or habit in general they are trying/want to break? Before I started getting manic I would buy a scratch ticket, maybe one on a payday, and cheap dollar ones, or a Poweball ticket if the prize was huge. It was extremely rare. I thought it was a waste of money. So maybe 3 a year.

I still think it's a waste of money and yet I've been buying them like crazy lately. lots. Winnings have not evened out money spent. And why now, cant i stop this compulsion, when I'm unemployed? Fear of financial insecurity? Hope of winning it big and solving $ probs? IDK

Not going to GA, been to AA. Phase I'll "grow" out of once my meds stabilize?

Any tips, hints. Mantras? Experience. Just say NO?
