@dex. For sure.

No. I essentially gave up watching QVC two or so years ago and rarely look back. When I check the program guide I continue to see the same brands and products over and over again. Been there, done that. I do still occasionally shop the website and even on rare occasion will tune in, but the lack of any real variety in products, brands and vendors and unpleasant host behaviors have grown very stale. I don't even want it on as background noise anymore because it's not only no longer interesting, it's no longer fun nor is it remotely relaxing. It's a shame, too, because at one time I loved watching QVC.

@Quse. Great idea. I do have a TV on the wall in front of my treadmill. That would help if switched channels only during commercials. May be better than the "cold turkey" approach.

@Shanus  yes... I heard the withdrawl symptoms are terrible!

@patnap. Guess you're in same boat as I am. Just turn off TV if tempted to buy.

@Shanus   acturally I find with all the lousy programming, I am less tempted to buy now with the TV on.......

Update:

24 hours and no Q.

Problem:

Loving the Food Network. On diabetic diet. Anyone notice none of the shows have healthy eating? Donut Showdown, Unique Eats, Cake Boss.

Oh Cr*p! I fear I've traded 1 vice for another!!!

So happy today is SILVER DAY. It will help me stay on track with my quest to not watch as many hours of the Q. I can design and make my own silver jewelry. Yay!!! 👏🏼

I do not understand how anyone could get hooked on a shopping channel such as QVC. Boring as heck... when I order something which is very rare I order online. I have more important things to do then watch boring QVC all day long. Maybe you need a 12 step program O/P?

When I retired at age sixty nine I still watched QVC and Evine, HSN not so much.  I ordered a few jewelry items when one day I said to myself, "Why am I buying jewelry when I already have more than I can wear and where will I wear it?"  It has been a good ten years since I bought anything on line other than books from Barnes & Noble.  To be honest I had no withdrawal or regrets, don't miss it, don't need it.  To any of you who find it difficult to stop the habit, stay strong.  Whenever you feel the urge to shop take a twenty dollar bill out of your wallet and save it, a month or so later add up what you saved, give yourself a pat on your back and say "What a good girl am I."  Trust me, you will be much happier without the addiction.

Count me in !!  I am sooo tired of random easy pays coming out of my account ... NO MORE ...  Paying those suckers off ...   I am also retired and need NOTHING ...  My closets are FULL and I don't go anywhere to wear the things I buy ...  The shows and some of the hosts I just watch to see how foolish they can act because I'm bored.  I am so sick of greasy models slathering on oil, layers and layers of mismatched tents which a few years ago we would never THINK of wearing outside our homes, egotistical designers talking out loud over hosts who are trying desperately to describe and sell their "designs" to the confused viewers, vacuums, vacuums, vacuums and other blowing or sucking devices, pots, pans and kitchen crapola, and anything shopping with WHO HA ...  DONE, DONE DONE ...  I'm doing it too ...  Count me in for dropping out ...  This is Day 1 for me too ...
