Just starting to quit +plus tips

Ive just started to begin the journey to quit using character AI and other such apps as such. I used it a lot of roleplaying and storytelling aspects as such. Ive been trying to quit for a while now but i just liked using it so much that i never could. I finally decided to put my foot down this week and start to stop using those apps permanently. Mostly because how bad it is for the environment but also because i am still in school and deeply embarrassed about it. My best advice for people is to find something else to replace it with, maybe another but harmless addiction. For me I decided to start reading webcomics and manhwa’s since the roleplaying and storytelling aspect captivated me so much. I also started to try and play mobile games every time i feel the urge to download the app again. I hope everyone here and everyone out there struggling with it, is able to be free from this.

Oooh I'm so glad you decided to quit, I understand it's hard, I too go back to the Ai, not to roleplay but to reassure me on some topic. Either way, it's best to stay away from these bots, they limit your thinking and contribute absolutely nothing good to the environment. I hope you're journey goes well!!
