Potpourri Boards > Addicted to Psychics
Joining the lent bandwagon
Mina:
Alright …
I’m feeling uneasy… because while i have been on tight cash basis, it's time to open myself to more responsibility. So for few months I am going to be in remote location for my summer seasonal job. My closet home bank will be a couple of hundred miles away, and the idea of sleeping with more than $25 in my bank account to prevent binging… well, I feel anxious!
But it’s time…
I will still be hitting up an ATM …it just now comes with fees and bigger consequences if I do give into binge calls outside my planned budget.
I am happy to report while I was not prefect with no psychic readings I have been budgeting, I got money saved up, plus bills paid, hotels booked (plural!) and paid, plus ANOTHER direct deposit coming in when I get there… and for the first time in long time, I ain’t going to be starving while I wait to be paid for this job! I’m so proud I finally stuck to budget and met my goals!
And …I’m actually a little scared getting my s*** together! 😅
Because past me is known to spend $300 with a psychic that charges $25 per minute … all for a less then 15 min call, and I just don’t want to take away with what I worked so hard to get to.

Woot woot! Good job Mina :)
So proud of you. I wish I had some wisdom to impart but all I can say is - trust yourself, trust God and trust you will be ok. Try not to binge and hurt yourself more. I know this is a weaning process - I have also been weaning and am down to one advisor and I’m trying not to contact her often - but try not to binge bc then it’s a downward spiral. Good luck!!

Good for you, Mina.
I think we all fall off course at times. But, there is nothing like a change of scenery or environment to produce more support for not calling psychics. The fact that you are embarking on something new provides an impetus for a better life. For me, I live alone and my family is located in different states and time zones. So, I tend to fall off course and call psychics when I'm alone and don't have time to talk to anyone. I'm getting ready to travel to see my family again, and each time I do, I spend less. And, I have filled my time up with activities when I'm not alone to avoid calling.
Anyway, good luck to you! (and all the others that struggle with calling too much).
P.S. I went on a binge a couple of months ago because I kept on calling about a work situation. Nothing was changing based on the time frames I was given. So, I stopped calling and prayed more. Two days later, a situation unveiled itself that provided the answers I needed. It had nothing to do with what the psychics had said but everything to do with what I asked for in my prayers. Not to offend anyone, but that is what has ultimately helped me the most: prayers.

Midwest60, you hit some things right on. When I was with family a week or so ago (I travelled to see relatives, they’re abroad), it was so nice having family around. I live alone and have a chronic illness and so I’m generally “alone”. I also WFH. I feel being lonely is the root cause for a lot of the psychic binges for myself. I’m not 100% sure how to solve for that as yet. Hobbies and friends would only take me so far - because you can feel lonely even with those situations. Anyways, you brought up a great point with family and prayer and wanted to echo.
