I know a few of us took a break from readings back in May. It helped me cut way, way back for May June and July. This month I started dating again and spent more than I could afford on Keen.
I’ll be taking a break again for September if anyone wants to join me :)
-
Yes! I am joining you. Thanks for starting this. I really hope I can stick to this and not do any readings for one whole month.
-
Wish I could be as disciplined as you.

Awesome! I’m starting today, may as well... last day of August and I spent almost $700 on Keen alone this month :(
-
Wish I could be as disciplined as you.
I’ve spent a good five years spending all of my extra income on readings :(
I’m finally at the point where I am fed up and need to break this habit.
Try a break! It’s good for your wallet and I felt so much more empowered without readings.
I start by narrowing down my favorite advisors lists to only trusted advisors and or advisors that don’t break the bank with high ppm. If anything, it could last you a little bit and hopefully afterwards you’ll realize you don’t need to read every day & how damaging it really is to ourselves.

So bold and brave of you! I was wondering, who are your trusted advisors that have worked for you?

I've been there, have spend even more during one month.
I am starting today too. I don't think I've been able to take one whole month break until now, so I am curious to see how it's gonna be.
-

Marie Anna, Phoenix Burning, Jade8928, Wendy Jenae, and Michele Answers are all of my favorites for different reasons. If you want a more in depth explanation you can PM me.
Also, keep in mind that my favorites may not work for you and vice versa. There’s been many times that someone recommends a certain reader and they just do not connect to me.
-
I'll join you! The May break was tremendously helpful to me as well, in cutting back on readings. I now do one a month only.

Even limiting yourself to one reading a week will help. I’m #6 in Cookie’s queue so if she calls me, I’m going to answer. Lol

Sounds good! Thank you for starting the break back in May, it really did help a lot for a few months. I want to eventually limit myself to one general reading a month as well
-
I say one but sometimes it's two. Really what I have tried to do is just set a budget and that's it, like $100/month. So if I have two $50 readings that's basically the same thing. But one a month just feels like a good goal.
Anyway, I'm on board with nothing for September.
-
I started my own break early in August but succumbed to a reading with Emma Jane last week. I haven't had a reading since early last week and intend to carry this level of abstinence into September on wards. I have some upcoming predictions that are supposed to unfold, unless something significant changes I really can't see myself getting another reading. There's only so many times you can hear the same thing!!
-
I too want join!
Ugh! I also deactivated my social media because I just keep obsessing about my ex.
Already, I’m shaking. There just so much I want to share but am too embarrassed.
There is no need to be embarrassed, I am sure most people here can relate!

Me! I just booked JR for October and swore no readings till then. With you all the way!
-
Reading everyone’s post I’m also going to give it a go although it’s September 1 for me and I’ve alrea been on the phone to an advisor but i realised that all I’ll be doing is what I have been doing - calling and asking why predictions etc have not happened and them saying something about spirit time or energy etc. so okay I’m in - and if I cave I cave but the way things are for me at the moment if I get a day psychic free I’m winning!!
-
Me!! I'm in :)
-
I’m in too. Just heard from poi for the first time in almost a month and didn’t reply...feels good!! I don’t need someone in my life who can ignore me for so long.
-
We’ve got this!
I woke up tempted... I received a message from POI this morning (2am) ::) after very sporadic communication for the past few weeks. I wanted to call someone... but I thought about it & it reinforces the break for me. They’ve ALL but ONE predicted stronger communication in September but time and time again he makes me feel like a bootycall. At this point I have no reason to call and just plan on saving my money to pay my bills next week.

I’m fourth in Cookie’s line and have to be at work in 20 minutes 😩 I’m having an anxiety attack thinking I’ll miss her. I’ve been in line since June
-
I would not feel embarrassed. I think maybe, at least, every other day I have a fleeting thought about the ex. But then, I also think of why do I even give them the time of the day?
When it is clearly obvious he probably never has me in mind and off enjoying things with someone else. Does not care about how I am doing and only cares about himself and whatever he is doing.
I do not check on him, at all. Because I know what I may hear or see could hurt me more. Sometimes, you are better off lying to yourself if the reality of what is happening hurts you and interferes with your own life and to avoid seeing or hearing things. I know how curiosity can be, but it can makes things worse.
It did big time for me, because I had very gossipy people that thought coming back to me with information was a good thing. I finally said to them, to stop telling me things. That they were doing nothing to help. One told me not to dwell on it. I exclaimed back to them, that they keep telling me things. What is the purpose of this. This is, also, how I confirmed the psychics were wrong; charlatans. Because the things that were happening in reality were nothing like they were saying. I mean way out there off.
The only thing I could confirm is the ex he went to was, and this is general and happens often, feeding his negativity. It is, of course a commonality, in a lot of situations. I am not in their love life and it cringes me to know. And is like mental torture and emotional to have those details.
The worst thing I dealt with, was a psychic that very clearly lied tremendously and give me advice not to move on. And I hate to say it, he would of told her from the very beginning, "I love this one woman, do not intrude." "I want everything to work out with us." Not take an ex going through a divorce on a date.
Some said, he just feels responsibility towards her. That she manipulates him and others. But that is a stock line. And even told me she would finally stop this stuff and go permanently away. Lol. I do not see that happening and months have passed now.
I do not think that is the case.
But the reality here is. I was there first until she intruded with our love life and nosed dive in full throttle.
Just like what some fake psychics will tell you to give you piece of mind, you can do it to yourself. Hope is not a bad thing. We all hope for better in ourselves. Power of positivity does go a long way. No matter how small. It becomes like stepping stones to the next big thing.
I know it literally sucks.
We all hope for the best and everyone deserves to be loved and to made a priority by the person we were with.

OK so no laughing, ok? I started a daily meditation thing my go to reader does (yup, the same one who refuses to read for peopl more than once in 3 months) to get your sh*t together and stop depending on readings. I figured a month of daily meditations cost less than half a reading, give it a try, so I am. Really helped today, will see how it goes :o
-
I really want to join u. I really do but not sure i am strong enough atm. Plus i have 3 readings already booked. I am sad to say i spent almost 5k in August. Its extremely embarrassing that i am so gullible. Gullible is not the word, more like i know many are bullshittin me but i dont know why i keep going.

Lollll yea it’s kinda ironic.
One good thing I learned from last poi and my incredibly expensive lesson with psychics, is self respect. This current guy basically was quiet the whole month of August. So now, I feel no need to pursue anything with him or even respond back to him. Let him wonder.
I’ve gotten verrryyy picky and my standards are much higher than they used to be.

Last night I was lurking on keen, had the urge to talk to someone. I didn't end up doing it. I think I got distracted with something else and when I got back on the site and saw of my trusted advisors to be logged on, I didn't feel the urge to speak to them.
I realize how this is so much of an impulse...it's an urge I feel and then I don't think things through and I want to talk to someone. And it's almost like I am in this mindless place where I just do things impulsively.
So I am happy I stuck to my decision to not get any readings. I'll have to take it one day at a time.
-
That’s awesome. That’s exactly how I was too. I figured out I have a trigger for when I get that feeling like I want to get a reading. Usually it’s a fear reaction to something and i go to a reader to calm that fear. When I realized that I was able to recognize the trigger and counteract it with something else.
Good for you! This is helping already. And yeah it’s a day at a time. That’s ok. Sometimes it’s an hour at a time. That’s ok too.

Jessica Rae, its like a group thing.

I didn't do well yesterday...had a reading with Lady P that I ordered last week and it came in and it was confusing which led me to seek other psychics on keen. I actually spoke to a new person on keen that I haven't spoken with before who confirmed everything that I knew about my situation without putting any negativity on it, so that helped. But until I found her I talked to 2 others who had no clue at all and I could tell they were lying which was disappointing.
But the bottom line is I did contact psychics yesterday which I shouldn't have.
-
As if I didn’t have enough reason to take a break for September, my POI just posted some stuff on social media with a new girl.
They’re ALWAYS wrong. The worst part about dating isn’t being let down by a POI it’s paying for stupid readings that never come true.
-
What’s helping me through September is a conversation I had with a psychologist. They basically said that splitting with my ex was a traumatic experience for me and by calling psychics I’m retraumatising myself and my healing will continue to be drawn out. I’m not going to lie I may cave at some point but it’s been 4 maybe 5 days without talking to one and just not wanting to feel like this has kept me strong thus far. Also every time I think of my ex I send them thoughts/feelings of love and good wishes for their future and this too has helped me.
An added bonus is that I’m about to get paid again and I still have hundreds of dollars in my account that I can use toward paying off the debt I’ve accumulated from talking with psychics. I still check my keen account but get satisfaction from seeing the number of days that it’s been since i spoke to an advisor. It’s not easy and if you do lapse don’t be too harsh on yourself just start again and try to beat your last attempt.

It’s ok, I had my suspicions about him. I just wish they would’ve been confirmed before reading about him!
I’m starting to wonder if positive predictions confuse us into thinking there’s a stronger connection to someone than there really is. This guy is a good time, but I’m way more upset than what I feel is reasonable. I think my readings made me more attached than I should be.

I definitely think so. First POI I called about, for sure!! Had me hanging on because I believed the connection was so strong and real and it was just a big mistake.
I regret getting readings on the second POI I called about this summer..even though, I asked readers who were right for me last time around, it doesn't appear they are right this time..but of course, I could be changing things by not replying to him, but my gut is telling me that is the right move, not to follow what these readers tell me. I actually had one on Purple Ocean tell me to "give him his space when he needs it, but when he comes close, be close to him, even if you don't feel like it"....SERIOUSLY?? so you telling me to be a walking doormat..NOPE. no more. He's going to need to grovel if he wants me back.
Always go with your gut..if it's telling you something is off, believe it.
-
@fluttershy, yep I’m still quitting. It’s not easy to go cold turkey and to be honest I’m struggling too.
I just know that when/if I call they will not be able to tell me anything new. Stay strong but don’t be hard on yourself if you lapse just start again. Seek therapy, research addiction also others on here have recommended keeping busy and it really helps to get over a poi and the addiction. Yiu know you’re not alone as there are many in this forum trying to do the same. Pm me if you like or just keep posting up here. Also thanks for sharing it’s good to know that we are both in the same boat - let’s not sink it 😊.
-
Ugh- I broke. I gave in called a psychic yesterday... yet I still want to try and not call anymore.
It’s ok! Our strength is in how we get back up from a fall. Just reset your clock and try again.
-

At least you’re strong enough to acknowledge it and not keep going. Don’t give up!
-
Hello all! I just thought I’d check on here after a few months of absence- and I read this post and I want to tell you all that it is possible!!! I have stopped calling psychics since... i think it was March or so, or April. When I had some breakthroughs and wanted to call, what worked for me was to remind myself:
- What for? They’ll again tell me BS that’s never gonna happen. If you call you’ll be happy for maybe a few hours and then what?
- keep the money for what you like: eating out with friends, shopping, travels!
- Meet someone else who WILL treat you like his princess! Go out and meet new people. If you keep calling, this won’t happen cos you’ll block yourself from moving on!
So these are basically the 3 things I was telling myself when I was about to call.
Also, what helped was closing my Keen and Bitwine accounts. And I removed them from my phone history so that I was less tempted to click on these logos once on my phone
-
Anyone still trying to quit? Or wanting to quit?
I fee hopeless about this. I want to quit and have to... but to be honest there one or two advisor I want to try, but I rather quit instead
Who else feels this way?
Yes!! I feel the same way. I'm contemplating having a reading with Yona but I hate telephone readings, it brings me great anxiety and because her readings are general I'm scared of what she might pick up. I feel like Yona is my last sense of hope in respect to a credible psychic.
I'm still committed to taking a break from psychics it's been very difficult but going into week 3 now.
-
Day 10! How is everyone feeling?
my POI that left me for his ex in November last year has been contacting me daily. I’m wondering what he’s got up his sleeve but I still haven’t felt the need to get a reading.
-
I’m so very close to cracking, I had some predictions for early September that haven’t come to passa and I’m getting a bit anxious and wanting to find out when?? What’s the delay?? What’s happening?? Thankfully none of the keen ones I speak to are online at the moment otherwise I would have called/chatted.
-
Stay strong everyone! I was a little tempted yesterday by the PO sale that's going on, I have to admit. NO to PO! :D
-
Hi everyone who's on a break or trying to cut down ... or quit.
I am on board for Sept, although I haven't been checking this forum much because I find it can trigger me to want a reading. I did have a lapse one day early on in the month... but nothing came of it (i.e. it wasn't worth it).
My strategy, if I have one is, I feel like a call, I make myself do something else first, to see if the urge will go away. The things I do include: prayer, exercises (best but I can be a bit lazy), or journalling. Or call a friend. All of the above helps.
The other thing I find difficult but helpful is trying to stay grounded in reality... including looking at my bank account (which, thanks to psychic calling over the past few years) is NOT in good shape. It helps me to deal with my finances head on. In fact, this may be the single biggest deterrent to calling as when I face it and do something constructive (like pay off some debt) I actually feel some relief of the anxiety that often pre-empts the desire to call.
Anyway, stay strong and I will check in again in a bit.

Vent.
I was doing fine. I felt like my reading at the end of July with Yona was sufficient and felt like I didn’t need a reading after that.
After the meet up that went well that Yona predicted, I don’t know why but I’ve felt the need to get another reading. Actually I’ve had 3 now. Well, 2 from Keen and then I just paid for a general reading with Aries Intuition. I just want to stop doing this to myself. Ugh. I don’t have the financial resources to pay for this shit anymore so I’m mad at myself for paying $70 for a reading. It gets better, right??
-
I've resolved not to have any more psychic readings either. I only hope I can keep my promise to myself although lack of disposable income is forcing me to stay away from them in any case. I have decided it's best to trust my own intuition and believe what reality shows me rather than listen to psychics and attempt to rationalise and explain away bad behaviour from a former poi I thought I could trust. I've been having readings for close to four years, on and off, and I shudder to think how much money I've wasted on false hope and fairy stories. But perhaps they were what I needed at the time just to get through the situation without going mad. Trouble is, reality can only be avoided for so long, and when the truth finally hits home it is all the more devastating. I know the readings kept me hanging on and obsessing about someone who showed me their true colours a long time ago. I feel such a fool for wasting precious years in a fantasy about somebody who was clearly not interested and didn't care about me at all. He merely used me as a passing flirtation and disposable ego boost! Hindsight is a wonderful thing and time eventually revealed to me what the person was all about. I was so naive and silly; my fault entirely for allowing it to happen and not protecting myself from a wolf in sheep's clothing. I think the readings delayed the healing process and almost caused me to lose touch with reality. Yes, I chose to consult psychics and I probably did so as a sort of escape but I see how unhealthy that's been for someone like me. I have anxiety issues and tend to overthink things, so I'm stepping away from the readings. I have to look for better coping mechanisms other than consulting psychics to ease uncomfortable feelings. Trying to adopt a positive frame of mind and keeping busy helps. How long for, I don't know but I feel more peaceful today. Accepting what is.
THIS!! I can totally relate to this!! I've given the whole psychic thing some deep thought. Staying away from readings has been the best thing I've done. Even though it's only been a few weeks I feel so refreshed. I'm no longer obsessing over my ex as much as I did before. I still think of him but the urge to check in is fading because I've started to loose faith in psychisc and maybe that isn't much a bad thing given how much money I've spent with no ROI.
I really hope I can finally move on from checking in on my POI, another way that keeps me from getting so many readings is when I remind myself that my POI would never obsess or spend this amount of money on psychic checking to see what I'm up to and if I will return.
-
I cracked too, between the weekend promo and this guy I’ve been crushing on since January making a move, I chatted with a trusted go to.
I regret it slightly because I was doing well, and also because this guy has showed more effort than the last two POI so why bother calling?
Usually, our POI shows us everything we need to know to make our own conclusions.
If someone wants to see you, they’ll make time to do so.
-
I caved today called angelbaby and Lisa Dianne- they both satisfied my thoughts. I’ve still saved heaps though in a a few weeks and will restart, it’s hard going cold turkey.
@fluttershy I still obsess over my ex as much as try not too I always wonder about her. Whatever you think is embarrassing, like the last post said I’m sure I can relate too.

16 days readings-free and I canceled my September reading with Yona F that I booked months ago AND canceled my October reading with my go to - she was so proud of me! Havent even been here on forum for over a week. Her prediction for September panned out, but it feels like it just doesnt matter - weird huh?! I kid her that she didn't see I was gonna give up readings in September. Sounding like a smug-ass I kno, but my life feels different in a good way. Hope it lasts, good to hear you guys are doing good also :)
-
I am still going strong for this month!
Not a single read and I can afford to go out! Lol
I’m so proud of myself :)
-
I’ve gotten a few reads but overall I feel like I am on the right path, moving on from past poi. It’s sad but it’s what is best.

I’m moving on too - even though EVERYONE said he’ll
Come back in one way or another . He hasn’t as of yet and I’m just resigned . I’m having fun and moving on with my life and not letting It affect me .
I keep telling myself I deserve so much more

That is some awesome will power! Super awesome!!!
I am doing an awesome job not cyberstalking my ex via social media! The calling psychics ... not so well... it feels like a different kind of denial.
I named my my addicted self “Galord” ... a green eyed love addicted psychic calling monster... that I sometime let take over, but I also sometimes say no to. Sigh
I love that you have a name for your addicted self. Not will power, not even a little bit. I wish I could take credit but I just turn up every morning, do the meditation and just lost interest in readings...just gone...weird

SO happy for you!! Keep it up!
I’m hoping to KICK the habit altogether. Fingers crossed! I’ll start meditating with you in spirit

Hi Hillcam thanks for starting this thread. Even though I’ve not been able to manage the month I’m happy with my efforts. Only a week to go but I’m going to continue through October too. My urge to seek reassurance etc is no where near what it was. Reading about everyone else’s efforts has been a great way to stay on track too.

I wasn’t able to make it through the month either but I didn’t spend what I normally would have. The readings I did have...have already proven to be false. That makes this so much easier to try and spend even less next month and until I no longer call.
Thanks for joining with us!

Havent even been here on forum for over a week. Her prediction for September panned out, but it feels like it just doesnt matter - weird huh?! I kid her that she didn't see I was gonna give up readings in September. Sounding like a smug-ass I kno, but my life feels different in a good way. Hope it lasts, good to hear you guys are doing good also :)
That is some awesome will power! Super awesome!!!
I am doing an awesome job not cyberstalking my ex via social media! The calling psychics ... not so well... it feels like a different kind of denial.
I named my my addicted self “Galord” ... a green eyed love addicted psychic calling monster... that I sometime let take over, but I also sometimes say no to. Sigh
I love that you have a name for your addicted self. Not will power, not even a little bit. I wish I could take credit but I just turn up every morning, do the meditation and just lost interest in readings...just gone...weird
28 days readings-free!! No interest in getting a reading AND I had a prediction come true in sept, that would usually have me running to a pile of new readings. I cannot believe this ??? :)

Soo happy for you! I spent less than last month, which is a start. I started dating a new guy who actually gives me enough validation that I feel like I don’t need to seek it elsewhere. Here’s to hoping this continues and I can kick my habit!

OK so no laughing, ok? I started a daily meditation thing my go to reader does (yup, the same one who refuses to read for peopl more than once in 3 months) to get your sh*t together and stop depending on readings.

Well done!! Keep it up!!

I ended up succumbing to having two readings, both were negative but also gave me the closure I needed. Overall I had a good month which was mostly free from readings and definitely not binging. If you followed my other threads you will see how serious I am about kicking the habit, I deleted my old transcripts and emailed Bitwine's customer service to disable my account with them.
Any future readings will be infrequently done and most likely general readings If the urge gets the better of me. I'm so glad I have a better handle on things, it's like a weight lifted off my shoulder.

Bump!!
How is everyone doing? Are we all still keeping on track with our reading free lifestyle? I'm keeping myself busy and pre-occupied. No new readings at the moment and I feel good about it!!

Cancelled my keen account 2 weeks ago. I had the urge to go back but I haven't done so. I think cancelling it was a good idea because it's harder to reinstall it and whenever I want to do that, I end up talking myself out of it.
I hope to keep going this way and not go back on keen as it is such a waste of money.

I did this too - 2 weeks ago as well!

I had been doing very well this month but I had three readings in the past two days. :-X
Now I’m trying to get myself back on track!

I had 2 last month and just 1 this month with Mattie. :D

Even though I have gotten some readings, I am so proud of myself..was just on bitwine and about to get a reading..and I started the chat..the reader kind of rubbed me the wrong way because she seemed greedy , but I was going to go ahead and get the reading anyway (I had used her once before and she was pretty good), but I changed my mind and clicked out..instead, went on Ulta and bought myself some make up I have been eyeing for a while :-*
Maybe not much, but baby steps LOL
As I was going to put the Paypal payment thru, I said to myself, what am I getting this reading for?? It's like a habit at this point, I swear!

Well done!! In respect to Bitwine I can relate. I had my account re-activated just to flick through the old transcripts. I don't know why I did this but I felt a sense of apathy towards what I read. I was so tempted to go ahead with a reading but talked myself out of it. I think it was because the person who I had my last reading with was online so it would have been an opportunistic move rather than craving answers.
I'm about to de-activate my account again because my emotional state is passive and distant. Maybe I feel this way because I am keeping myself busy but it's helping to curb this awful habit and to forget about my ex.
I don't think there is a way to delete old transcripts on Bitwine? I've looked but can't see a solution. I would love to delete them along with de-activating my account again.

Thanks :) yea, it felt good...I didn't like this reader trying to egg me on for more money....I'm sure she blocked me now, but no worries lol.
I closed my account with them over a year ago, but I do occasionally still chat as unregistered..I wish that wasn't an option LOL. I wonder if there's a way to permanently close it, maybe ask bitwine's customer service?

Yes it's a red flag when the reader is money orientated. I usually just leave the chat and save my pennies. I have liaised with the customer service team and ask them to de-activate my account but would love the transcripts to disappear as well. I'm not quite ready to go cold turkey and close the entire account if I am honest with myself, that's another milestone I need to achieve.
I've done the whole unregistered lurking during my binge cycle days and some readers would flat out refuse to read for me unless I signed up.
I've got like 6 pages worth of psychics on my account in the span of 3 months, what the hell was I thinking!! lol
-
LOL I can so relate! It's crazy how much you can spend on these readings...for me, it was more about reassurance and temporary fixes. Overall, I think they did more harm than good.

This is the 10th week of psychics free reading and look at all the money I save up because of it. Keen even try to make me start call them again with the add $5 get $10 free thing.
