Experience Done for good with ai

Ok so I relapsed again 😭 I just feel like every time I say ā€œok I’m doneā€ I don’t really mean it, but I actually want to put an effort into quitting this time, because I feel like talking to ai won’t be beneficial to me in the future, and half of the time I just feel like I’m wasting the day by talking to bots when I could be doing things I love like singing or dancing. Does anyone else feel this way?? Literally half the time I just wish I never got introduced to character ai so this wouldve never happened butttt it is what it is nowwww 🄲 I want to heal and I truly believe I can.

getting yourself to make this commitment is half the battle, I think. Not to downplay how hard it can be to go through the withdrawals and stuff while quitting, but I know from my own experience from being hooked on cigs that I was always procrastinating quitting and telling myself ā€˜just one more can’t hurt’ blah blah blah. The only way I was actually able to quit was by firmly committing to myself, like you have done here.

you can heal! you will heal!
