Finally admitting and trying to fix my addiction

I noticed others introducing themselves, so I figured I should as well.

Hello fellow people, my name is Atlas. So for a good few years now I have use character AI. Whether that be for testing out scenarios for OCs or having those comfort conversations. At first everything was okay. I could use character AI and still focus on other things. But over the past few years I have noticed an increase in my use. To a startling amount. To the point where now, it's only negatively effecting me (Even if it makes me feel good) I hardly focus on my hobbies and have a hard time getting my school work completed on times. So I think it is time that I be truthful with myself and work to a better place. If I'm being honest I felt a lot better and free today after rejecting the need to interact with AI.

Any tips would be appreciated :)

Right now I am identifying what I was trying to get from AI chatting and seeing if I can replicate it in a healthier space. My google doc is gonna have so many documents💔
