perhaps try Debtor's Anoymous, there's online meetings. one story in the "currency of hope" book, storys, talks about how he HAD to stop shopping sales, his pressure relief group told him, yes he saved money, but overall it ended up spending more, cause of impulse stuff that he didn't need nor want, but that he was overall better off just paying full price for what he needed. my problem is ebay, as for ordering for friends, or sending them pics, maybe...but that sounds like just another part of the spending "buzz" thrill" rush and or feel good that rewards the online shopping, kinda like if I'm a coke addict and trying not to snort, but I see some good stuff hit town for a good price, and let my buddy know..."hey check this out!: LOL ;o)

Hmmm. A lot of assumptions in your response. Not in debt, not buying anything I can't afford, not shopping for a thrill. In fact I don't much like shopping which I why I love the convenience of Amazon when I need something in particular. I don't browse for random bargains on Amazon. Not a Black Friday shopper or a TV shopper. I just go on Amazon when I need something in particular that I don't think is at Walmart or Target. I also go on when I need to order a gift for someone out of state, so quick and easy with shipping. When I randomly order something for a friend or family member, it's usually a book that might inspire them such as a daily devotional, but I'm sure they have all the books they need. It's not a spending addition or thrill, just highly convenient and a desire to help those I care about. When this thread popped up on my daily digest, I thought I was just giving a casual and a bit humorous reply on a chit-chatty topic, but I see now this was posted under mental health so perhaps it was a more serious topic than I realized which might explain some of the replies. My mistake that I wasn't paying more attention to the category. Anyway, I'm exiting this conversation, but good luck to everyone. Thank you to those who provided practical Amazon suggestions here. 🙂
