Something I bought. I have yet to sell a single thing on eBay :rotfl:

I think the feedback only shows the item detail for the last 90 days. Earlier than that and you can see the feedback but there's no link to the item.

Go on be daring and sell something! It can be quite addictive, although I only do it when I get bursts of enthusiasm. I've been making the most of my recent AF-ness to list stuff on eBay and Amazon, so not only am I saving money by not buying alcohol, I'm making a profit too :rotfl::rotfl:

Hi everyone. Major long time lurker here - think I posted once perhaps many moons ago..
I want you all to know how much you are helping me to get to a place where I am much happier and in control of my drinking.

I am a cutter downer and am sure I do drink more than a lot of people would think healthy - but I am now able to have 5 days (if not more) out of 7 AF and to me this is fab!! I was a bottle or more of wine a night kinda girl and this habit was with me for many years. I always think of you lot when I'm having an AF - you are all great and I feel like I know you and feel I should thank you! I personally enjoy the friendly banter which I feel is perfectly balanced with more serious chat on this thread.

I still have my major 'blips' from time to time. The last one being just last weekend when I seemed unable to put on the wine brakes after a Sunday lunch in the pub - all going fine - just a half of cider with lunch - then 'yay what a good idea why don't I get 2 bottles of wine on way home to 'share' with our guests (who are driving and will refuse a glass) - that dreadful feeling in the morning which for me just gets worse as the day progresses (and I sober up I suppose). Feeling scared, panicky, self-loathing - and generally very ill. I'm happy to say though that these incidents are becoming few and far between unlike the almost constant chaos of drinking that was my way before.

I come here most days to see how you all are - love hearing when things are going well for people and also my heart always goes out to anyone having a hard time as I sure know that feeling all too well.

Just thought I'd step out from the shadows briefly to let you know that I value you all (oh dear am I starting to sound a bit gushy??) I hope people don't stop posting (you see I'm selfish I like to read what others have to say but stay out here in my shy world in silence! - I'm sure I'm not alone...).

Jo - I really relate to you most of all - so 'hello' from out here in cyber-land.

Lots of Love
