Ridiculous Addiction

[ghostsandfairy]

I have a ridiculous addiction - having psychic readings. I've had email readings, text readings and phone readings.

I gave up for a few months a couple of years ago and I am determined to stop altogether. My phone bill is ridiculous and I am broke this month because of it.

I've gone 6 days without a reading. I feel better but flat. The readings gave me hope and things to look forward to. I realise I have been mostly conned but a couple of psychics were quite good.

I'm not sure I could just have one reading now and again for a treat without getting addicted.

I type mine out and refer back although am questioning if I’m being deluded right now. They all pretty much say the same outcome but I wonder if they say he’s coming back as if he doesn’t it will make me call back again. I haven’t had a reading for two days, will see if I can make it to a week. Glad you’re feeling more in control, hope I reach that stage soon x

@Beaker01 - I've had this before where "psychics" say an ex is coming back and he had actually moved on with someone else. Even the good psychics don't get everything right.

Don't be too hard on yourself if you end up getting a reading. Just start again the next day with stopping or cutting down. It's quite a common addiction but you can overcome it

@ghostsandfairy yeah they did say that. He is engaged now and has been with her ten years so… I don’t think they were right. I hope you’ve managed to kick it and found new love xx

I’m still going strong at them as his psycho ex contacted me about 10 days ago and I seem to use readings as a way to calm my anxiety. I’m going to try to have one a week for now (better than every day or more that I’m doing at the moment!). I just want to feel mentally stable again 😂

@Beaker01 - can you distract yourself with doing something else like going for a walk to help with the anxiety? . Remember a reading will probably soothe you for a few hours and then you will need another one soon:

If you must have readings and you go down to one a week then that is good progress. If you are ringing psychics look for sites that do offers or where you can listen back to readings. Then you can keep listening to a reading you have already had to try and stop yourself having another one.

I have found that even the best readers who have been spot on about my situation don't get every prediction right so I try to go with my own judgement/gut feelings.

Hope it all goes well for you
