Default PAS (Pattern Acquisition Syndrome) -- Has anyone beat it?

I successfully kicked my FAB (Fabric Acquisition Syndrome), but I'm still having trouble with PAS, probably because patterns are less expensive than fabric.

I have continued with PAS even as I have been sorting through my hundreds and hundreds of vintage quilting magazines page by page. Have done thousands of pages so far, "flagging" inspirational quilts and quilts I might want to make some day, and giving to the library only those issues that don't get at least one flag. Maybe someday I will be able to cut apart a magazine to take out only the flagged quilts, but I'm not there yet.

Maybe I should forbid myself to go to eBay. eBay is such a great enabler! However, I'm not about to give up the QB! And the QB is where I keep falling off the wagon. It's kind of like going to a bar with the idea of sipping on some soda.......
