No psychic until April Fool's Day Challenge.

Winter - my addition is equally as bad.  I am fortunate that I have a lot of disposable income, so it doesn't really impact my standard of living....but still it is such a waste and I am trying my best to stop.  I need to set a goal as you have done.  How is going so far?

WinterElf:
IT is rough.  I feel like crying all the time and because of my addiction, I am short on rent and I have to do a part -time job to make it up ASAP. 
It is hard but I know that calling them only makes things worse for me on so many levels.  I do have anxiety also but I try to manage it with breathing techniques  etc.
I am feeling vulnerable now because of a relationship that didnt pan out this month which is why I went on a binge.  This is so hard but I must stay away from them.

I feel your pain. This addiction is not fun at all.

WinterElf:
Even if this forum is helping me a lot, I can't even look at the psychic reviews for who was right or not because it triggers me to go to Keen again and check it out and then I get tempted to get a reading with this person that everyone swears by.   :'( :'( :'( :'(

jas:
Winter - I feel your pain, truly.  I am always looking for someone to tell me everything is okay and it is all going to work out - both professionally and romantically.  I appreciate the few psychics that are my regulars....but still, it is an exhausting habit.  I wish I could scan my bank statements and show you how bad it was a few years ago. 

What has helped a little bit lately is this; when I feel like I absolutely have to call right now, I stop, take a deep breath and say to myself "what is the question I want to ask the psychic".  Then I tell myself that the question can wait until Saturday.  It isn't much but it is helping.

OH, and one more thing.  I was in a psychic's anonymous group a few years back.   It was a few weeks before Christmas and one of the members sent out an urgent email.  It was so sad.  She was a single mother with two children and because of a breakup, she went on an $800 calling binge.  She had nothing left to buyer her children any presents with for Christmas and she was feeling suicidal.  Several of us sent her our phone number and said call right away, please.  She was in the UK so couldn't call any of us in the US.  I still think about how awful she must have been feeling.  So, although you and I have wasted massive amounts of money, just remember that is could be worse.

Thank you Jas so much and for everyone who contributed to this thread.  I keep crying as I release this addiction.   I lost my pets when i was overseas because i could only afford to take one home after my psychic calling binge. They are now with good families but I miss my little two friends.  I feel so sorry for that mom and even if she loves her kids with all her heart, the addiction convinces you that you will be okay.  I hope you feel better Jas.  I know how it can feel hopeless and even when you get a good reading, you still dont believe them.  You are not alone.
