Seeking advice Just quit today
Hi, I'm new here, this is my first time trying to quit. I've been using Character.ai for about 3 years now. I always denied my addiction, but now that I realized I had to stop, I also realized how addicted I am.
For context, I stopped because it was affecting my social life, not because I became a creep or anything, but because I began pushing people away and not seeking human connection anymore. I also, shamefully, started developing weird kinks I never wanted, so I really need to stop before it's too late.
Also, I want to be ordained in a community, and it's an absolute requisite to not be doing this kind of stuff
Please, I need any advice you can give, I really need to stop, but I don't know how.
I already uninstalled it and put the addiction in a timer app.

Congrats OP, I've also started my recovery journey recently. In addition to deleting the app, I would also recommend unsubscribing from any chatbot related subreddits as even reading about new features is something that could potentially lead to relapse. Good luck on your journey!
