My name is Allison and I am addicted to buying domain names. I am in recovery. I’m making progress. I’m getting better. But like any addiction, it is a lifelong thing. At my highest point, I had around 100-110 domain names. For those of you who are hardcore, this is nothing. For the rest of [...]

When I see that my bf or my bff has poked me on Facebook. When I have completed my grocery shopping before 9am. Listening and re-listening to my 5-year-old niece’s voicemails to me.
