I hate this
Jeninmd2:
I totally hear you guys. I'm also one who is guilty of wanting a fool of a POI and getting more readings due to it....since I have found a few select readers that I try to stick with now I don't spend as much as I used to when I first started out and would try just about any reader (and I started on Bitwine, ugh!!) Finding message boards like this helped me find quality readers which has made things better and I have been able to cut down....but I am still guilty of "mini-binges" where I branch out and try other recommended readers when things get tough with my POI. And of course I am guilty of completely obsessing over whether or not even my trusted readers' positive predictions will actually happen. It's a vicious cycle. I know I need to address my underlying anxiety, I just haven't yet...
I am very new to this board but it's nice to find other people to discuss things with who actually understand....a few people in my "real" life know I read with Yona every few months but they have no idea about the other readers and all the binging I have done, I would be too embarrassed to admit it to anyone.... :-X

October of last year (after a decade of readings) I finally had the nerve to see how much my addition was costing me......$1800 monthly!!! yes, you read that correctly. I earn a good income, almost six figures, but I was spending everything on this addiction. I finally went to a hypnotist and, for now, I am staying on the straight and narrow.
Thank you so much for writing that :)

God love you for having the fortitude to add it up. I can't do it yet. It's shameful. BUT one thing that gives me reinforcement is checking my Keen transcripts. They go away after a year. Last year there were pages and pages of them. Now I'm down to a few pages. I don't read on Keen anymore, so I'm waiting for the day when there are no transcripts to read. :)

I am just like you, fidget... I cant do it...Noone knew ..not my famiky, not even my best friend..that i have this addiction and this obsession on POI.. All stopped, when I cannot validate any of the readings...reality vs fantasy...i can't take back time wasted ..but I know I have to move forward

The adding up the money looking at how many readings I’ve had over the last 19 months was extremely eye opening for me. What I could have done with all that money instead. SMH. I posted my stats in another thread. But I really think this is a good way to bring self awareness to the impulse. It will help me for sure, though maybe still not eliminate the curiousness completely.
Because in my situation I just in the last couple weeks even had two different psychics pick up on things that there is NO WAY no possible way they could know these facts about me without some genuine gift.
The predictions are either still pending or time lines have passed, but again people also say not to focus on timing as much as outcome and some apparently have had things happen a year later or more. So I don’t know what to make of that.
The fact that a reader (although very very few) can pick up that stuff makes it so easy to believe they can accurately predict the future but that may not be a valid or related correlation / conclusion at al.
sawthelight:
I agree with so many of the posts on here. If I total up what I've spent over the years, I probably would puke. It's disgusting, and it was unnecessary. I'm not saying having readings is all bad, but to do it to the excess that I did it was super unhealthy and didn't really do much for me, in the long run.
It really is fascinating when a reader can pick up so much about the past and present, eerie too. I think a big part of the process I had to learn is not to hold on too tightly on outcomes, or just having to know the future. I think maybe we aren't supposed to know..

Omg I am ashamed to admit it but I could easily buy a new car with all this wasted money on psychics which piled up to approx. 7K (over the past 8 years I've been consulting psychics). But money wasted is not the main problem-it's wasted hopes that matter the most and waiting for something "positive" to happen but it never does. After years of failed predictions, especially in the love department, I have limited myself to getting only one reading per month and consulting my own cards every 1-2 months as well. It's easy to fall back to your old ways and get tempted to try a new reader if you are going through a challenging face in your life, but if you take a few moments and count how much money and hope you've wasted in the past, it really helps curb this temptation.
