Hi Zombie ,
Pay day as a trigger ?
hmm make sure you don't have cash or cards in your pocket , pay all your bills first .
Dont pull out a big chunk of cash, i used to take out £10 at a time and go shopping with that for groceries , in the UK spirits cost about £15 a bottle so i was safer .
if you get paid into a bank account set up a standing , order , regular payment automatically on pay day so you don't see the cash .
Leave any cards at home and go shopping with just enough cash for what you need .
Go shopping with someone who knows your problem and can help keep you accountable or plan it so your busy on pay day.
I found a tub of ice cream helpful as a get home treat after a days work , only 1 scoop though ! i put too much weight on ..
Alcohol adds tend to bug most people early on , generally it's just a phase and it gets better the further you get from day 1 .
keep on
