Impulse Control Advice?

This is my first ADHD community group, so I'm a bit nervous! I'm 21, born 2003, and I've been diagnosed with ADHD ever since I was 5. I struggle the most with impulse control, and I haven't had the urge to ask for help or advice until now. I'm in college, my final semester, and since I'm on my own with no parents to steer me away from stores or food places, I spend a lot of money on things I don't need, like fast food and things like that. Once in a while is okay, but I've been doing it nearly every day. Is there any advice on impulse control in general? I've been struggling a lot with it. I wonder why people with ADHD or neurodivergent people tend to struggle with this far more than neurotypical people. Happy to be in this community!
