So me and my boyfriend regularly smoke and since we are long distance and he is in a state where real weed is legal he smokes more than I do.

Recently, we both have noticed how the weed has been affecting him, making him more snappy/paranoid and how it affected his schooling a lot too. So we had a long talk and both agreed that he should stop for the foreseeable future.

And why I know that my addiction to an app isn't the same as a drug addiction but they are very similar. This app took a lot of my life from me. I had gotten the yearly subscription back in July of 2025 and had been riding that out so I haven't had to deal with any ads or age verifications. It was so easy to just load up the app and talk with a bot for HOURS.

I love fiction roleplaying and writing stories so essentially a person I was talking to that would never get tired and eventually give me what I wanted for whatever story I wanted at the time was PERFECT for me. But I have came to the horrible realization that I have only stripped my creativity from what it used to be and left its husk. I want to get my creativity back again and I think this is a good first step.

I deleted the app about a week or two ago, I honestly can't remember exactly how long but it has at least been a week, and I have been much happier. Life is still shitty in other ways lol but not having this weighing me down feels much better.
