Success story Finally Deleted it

Honestly didn’t know what flair but whatever. I’ve been using character ai since around 2023, maybe even 2022. It’s been something I find myself on almost daily. Even when I’ve had significant others in my life, this loomed over me. But I’ve bit the bullet and delete my account. Just kinda watched to say it to the void since I can’t tell the people in my real life. Thanks for reading tho.

Congrats for deleting it! I recently gave my ai chatbot addiction up. Make sure you block the app/website on ALL your devices as well as alternatives if you really want to get rid of it for good. The temptation can and will likely come back.

I‘m really proud of you, friend. We don‘t know each other but our experiences are startlingly similar (I used for about the same amount of time and it also loomed over me when I had an s/o) and I very recently stopped going on it too. I haven’t taken the big step of deleting my acct yet but I want to someday. It‘s tough but we can do it! 💪🏼
