I quit buying fabric in 2001. In 2017 I started super small just what I needed. Then I had cancer 3 times and am losing my vision, so when I need something, because I'm a scrappy quilter I ask to purchase specific scraps here
I can afford fabric, I do NOT want a stash. so far it is working... but I sure do recognize the problem. If you think of a folded finished top and stand in front of your stash with that in hand, you can see how many quilts you'd need to make to even make a dent.
the biggest problem is the dopimine high hit people get f rom shopping. When I first quite cold turkey it would actually make my stomach hurt going into a shop to get needles or whatever. WANT WANT WANT. Zero need.what is done is done, just enjoy what you have and quit shopping. Easier said than done.
