I retired on November 9th, 2009, so I am in my 10th year but won't be 10+ years until November. So take my answer with a grain of salt.
No, I never had to curb my spending. See below for an idea of my spending patterns so far (not including the various costs of buying and moving to my Dream Home in 2015). I am spending more now than I did during the first few years of retirement, but TBH I was spending less before I retired than after. No more need to save for retirement.
During 2008-2012 I just stuck to my 45:55 AA. It stood by me really well! I was not tempted to sell low, so given my own particular level of risk tolerance, that is a good AA for me during a crash. My portfolio today is 35% greater than it was on the day I retired and would have been 43% greater had I not bought my Dream Home in 2015 and moved into it. Also, due to my "age 70" SS kicking in, last year I spent only 0.60%. I truly do need to "Blow That Dough" at this stage in life.
As of last month I have begun slowly transitioning to a more conservative AA, with "110-age" as my goal for equities. This year, 42:58, then 40:60 next year, then 38:62 the following year (at age 72) and continuing with 110-age from there on out.
That is a great chart. Puts things into perspective.
