Succeeding but Unsold
I’ve been addicted to 🌽 since I was in 3rd grade. I have no idea what started it, but I’ve always been freaky. I would have spurts of watching a lot of it, but then I got into high school and it really got bad and never slowed down. I can’t remember what year it was, but I got to a point where I couldn’t fall asleep without it. Pretty messed up. Fast forward to Covid, right when I graduated college, it picked back up even more to a whole new level and never slowed down. I was watching stuff I never thought I’d be watching. It’s been almost 5 years since then, and I’VE FINALLY GAINED CONTROL OVER IT. However, I’ve been 🌽 free for about a month and I don’t really notice anything else other than not craving it. The fact I don’t even think about it anymore is super awesome but kinda insane. I don’t know if that means I’ve permanently screwed up my dopamine or if I’m still recovering from the addiction, but I feel like I need to be honest and broadcast my experience. I hope it turns out for the better, and I’m gonna keep going cuz I ain’t no bitch, but I hope some sort of corner is turned. I don’t mean to discourage anyone, but this is my experience and I can’t deny it.
The longer you have been addicted. The longer the recovery will take. I have seen it take a year for some people to really feel any different. I don’t mean to be discouraging. If anything I would take it as encouragement. To be addicted to something for over 2 decades and it only takes a year to heal. This is all hypothetical btw. I’m js everyone has a different experience and this app is designed for a “90 day streak”. Which may help for some. But like I said. The longer the addiction. The longer it will take. You got this though man. Just wanted to lyk that you will notice a change and it will prob happen before a year. That was a reference point for you. Good luck!
