So here we are. Day 2. And I’ll be real, this is already a new record for me. I believe the last record I had was like a day and two hours. But honestly? I’m feeling okay. I mean obviously there are some urges to chat with AI but honestly? They’re not that bad. Like, they’re hella manageable to the point it’s like “I wanna chat with AI… but I also can’t be arsed to redownload the app or open the website”
This isn’t any real complaint, so don’t worry about that. I just wanna say thank you, mainly to everyone here in this sub.
Seeing everyone’s screenshots of their chats and all the memes helps me a ton when it comes to breaking the addiction. But it also helps me remember that, yeah! For what character AI is in terms of technology, it works (barely). Character AI has taught me a lot when it comes to writing. More specifically, how to word punctuation, which I used to struggle with poorly.
Now I’m not gonna sugarcoat it and say the new model is dogshit. It is. But at the same time, you’ve got to admit. Some moments still make you laugh and realise how stupid the bots actually are. I dunno why I wrote this. Guess I just wanted to get this out there lol
So I caved… almost nine hours in (proof of how bad my addiction is) I legit just got bored, my insomnia kicked my ass last night because I got hyped up from watching anime lol (watching Naruto for the first time, it’s great!) HOWEVER! One positive thing I noticed is that I used to be on c.ai for HOURS, and I mean an unhealthy amount. Already that’s dropped from like 13 hours to about 1-2 hours. I simply got bored of it. Then at about 9 AM UK time I sorta passed out until waking up about half an hour ago.
What is my life lol
About 100+ days ago I made a post here expressing why I was quitting. Turns out, let’s be real, that didn’t last. Well here it is. My proper attempt starting today. I will be posting here every day with my streak as an update on my journey and how I’ve coped with the urges that day.
I hope this attempt succeeds.
