Sorry to hear of your issues, nancia, I share your back problems, but not headaches. You have my sympathy.
I am doing okay not buying fabric or books - just one magazine this year and, oh, one pattern. Now if I can stay off the computer and away from reading novels, I could sew some of my stash. This week my time will be taken with getting ready for the church bazaar and getting things outdoors ready for winter. My sewing machines are lonely.
Interesting that getting one compulsion under control makes us aware of others. Did any one mention additive personality???? Guilty as charged.
