Well, I don't want to come across as too harsh, but here it is.
The way I see it you have two choices:
The first is to shut up, get some will power and stop spending like crazy on all this stuff. If you don't:
Keep spending and spending like crazy until you have no money left, any credit cards you have are maxed to the gills and the debt collectors start calling.
There are so many more rewarding things in life than spending money. Go for a bike ride, take a walk, take some of your friends and go play tennis. Read a book, stay at home and rent some movies.
There are so many things that are way more enjoyable in life than toys. Give yourself a miniscule budget like $50 a month for your toys. When you have to save up and you finally get what you're saving for it makes it so much more rewarding, instead of having buyers remorse.
Like I said, I don't want to come across as too harsh, but I have been there, and the second (seemingly inevitable for you) path is not all that pretty. It has taken me 4 years to work my way out of 18 months of stupid spending.
