Abstract
A time-locking container to limit the compulsive overuse of objects and substances, such as but not limited to money, food, alcohol, and tobacco. The container locks until a future date and time of day set by the user. The unit displays the duration of locking, permits the user to cancel, and can require affirmative confirmation if locking exceeds a user-selected maximum duration. This feature prevents an accidental prolonged lockout. While the container is locked, the user can extend, but not shorten, the duration of locking. This feature permits the user, while experiencing guilt due to overindulgence, to further delay access without the temptation of an open door.
