For those no longer getting readings - how did you know you were done?

I've been burned by psychics with 3 different guys over the past 2 years and I've just had enough. I decided that it's pointless to continue to go around in circles with these readers and wait for predictions that just don't happen. I guarantee I would've been able to move on from all of the POIs much faster if the predictions hadn't kept me waiting around for things to magically change.

Just FYI:
I’ve broken my addiction and then slipped (badly, totally hooked) multiple times. The first time I broke the habit was by deciding I would give my all to a guy I’d started dating as he was everything my ex (POI in all my readings at that time) was not. That new guy is now my sweet husband.

The second time I broke the addiction wasn’t really on purpose. The platform I was using stopped hosting readers.

And now... it’s a combination of trying some LOA, meditation, acknowledging uncertainty, telling myself I’m the only one in charge of my life and future, and reminding myself that I can’t afford it. For a while I would tell myself if I don’t do a reading for X more days, I’ll treat myself to Y. It got pricy fast but it worked two ways - I treated myself to like title gifts, and it was a solid reminder of dollars spent. I realize that last bit is a little twisted, a mix of glee and shame, but it worked for me!

Flora, we've talked before, but here are my reasons:

1) None of my relationship predictions came to pass. Not one prediction and certainly not one timeline. I have had random hits on career or unrelated things with maybe 5 readers out of hundreds, but as far as my POI, nothing unless I took action myself.
2) Money. I have spent obscene amounts of money and I'm so ashamed of that. My goal now is to get a second job, be a responsible adult and fix that.
3) It occurred to me that whatever happens with my POI, good or bad, isn't contingent on a reading. It will happen regardless.
4) Finally, if you're doing something in excess that you can't share with your friends and family, then it's wrong. I couldn't imagine sharing my psychic binging with anyone. It's embarrassing and I feel so foolish. Like a person catfished.

Penelope:
I am trying to cut back on readings as my predictions aren’t until March-July.  Any readings I get will likely be a repeat of what I’ve already heard.  I made it to 4 days without calling!  But then, I broke down and binged after a trigger (I mainly called empaths for insights on current situation).  I haven’t called today so I am hoping to hold out another 4 days to make it to 5 days and beat my last record!
