Oh...I know the feeling. I've been there a few times. I'm in a much better place now. Not a perfect place, but much better. Here's what has helped me. Maybe it can help someone else.
1) You can't stop readings without replacing it with something else. It's an addiction. If you get bored or anxious, this "addiction" creeps in EVERY time. So I found replacements. I've started projects around my home. Big projects. And I've challenged myself to do the project myself. Lord knows that I can't afford professional contractors. I've learned in the last 6 months basic electrical and plumbing. You can learn almost anything on YouTube. LOL
2) I am in such financial debt due to my "habit". I haven't had the nerve to add it up, but it's BAD. Only I can turn it around. Besides, it's my responsibility to do so. So...I figured out a budget, downloaded Credit Karma, Ibotta, etc. Everything is budgeted now. If I can't afford it, it doesn't happen. I'm slowly paying off my addiction. It will take years. BUT instead of checking the psychic sites, I check my credit score. It's starting to go up. My credit card balances are starting to go down. My goal is to live without credit cards.
3) My health. I went through months of not sleeping through the night. I'd wake up worried about finances and of course, my POI. I've learned to meditate. There's a great "Tibetan Meditation Music" video that I use every night. I do some LOA, deep breathing, relaxation techniques to the music EVERY night before bed. I can now sleep through the night.
4) I don't check his social media anymore. I challenged myself not to block him, but to learn self control to not check. When I get the urge, I play Cookie Jam (LMAO) and honestly, it only takes a few minutes to lose the urge. Remember, you don't quit and addiction, you replace it.
5) I haven't cut out readings, but they are limited and I have self imposed boundaries. I pay cash so if I don't have money, I don't do it. I get general readings only. They have always been better for me and they remind me that there are other aspects of my life that are important. And I wait for the timelines to pass or for progress before I get another one. I've been really good about this. I don't have an urge anymore for daily/weekly readings and honestly, more predictions happen. They are not about my POI, but they are happening. I've also started to read tarot. I'm still early in the process, but I've found that my own readings are more accurate. I've seen the Devil card a lot, but it's in the past. The current shows I'm still insecure about my future, but my future cards are showing forward movement. And it's true. It's all true.
Hang in there. You'll find what works for you. POI held sooo much power over me. Psychics, intentionally or unintentionally did the same. I am working day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute to take control back from both. Hugs to all of us who are struggling.
