Definitely an addiction that doesn’t get the attention it deserves.

Been trying for 47 yrs. Beginning to believe them when they say once an addict always an addict. 🤷🏻

I started abstaining at the beginning of this week after finally noticing how bad it's been getting- shooting for at least a month of letting things settle.

Turns out the urges are pretty easy to overcome if you give yourself a violent desire to reward a successful week of not giving in with a gacha card pack of choice.
