You are all correct
buy extra food when you have money
get rid of all of your credit cards except one
Freeze it in a block of ice in the freezer
Remember getting an allowance when you were a kid?
Get an allowance, When it is gone - too bad
Plus a very important one
set up a bank account that you cannot use online or a bank machine.
Every week put a set amount in it. no missing weeks
Don't even think about this money
It is your " holy crap I need new brakes" (whatever) and now I have put aside to help with that

I think this advice is excellent! Actually all of you have given me some very good advice. I am going to place my allowance in a separate account (a prepaid debit card) that I can readily access. I will not touch anything else. If that does not work, I will also use the idea of creating a "hidden" bank account that is not easy to access. And look into prepaying my bills with a fixed amount every month. I took out of my wallet all my credit cards. I am seriously thinking of freezing them in a block of ice. This sounds extreme to me, but if it can work for me, then it is worth a try. Anything is worth a try at this point!
EDIT: One dose of Zyprexa settled me down where I found sleep.
