    This to me reads that you have a serious self control issue. If you need to use an app to limit your use of another app, you’ve fucked up. Learn and practice some self control. You don’t need a timer, you don’t need to remove the app or get yourself banned, just stop using it. This is like needing to have your parents tell you to do your homework or something. You are in control of your life. You will feel much more empowered if you do it yourself.

      This to me reads that you have a serious self control issue. If you need to use rehab to limit your use of heroin, you’ve fucked up. Learn and practice some self control. You don’t need rehab, you don’t need to stop buying heroin or cut off ties with your dealer, just stop using it. This is like needing to have your parents tell you to do your homework or something. You are in control of your life. You will feel much more empowered if you do it yourself.

        Using a website app and being chemically addicted to a strong substance, same thing really if you don’t think about it

          This to me reads that you have a serious self control issue. If you need to use therapy to limit your gambling, you’ve fucked up. Learn and practice some self control. You don’t need therapy, you don’t need to stop gambling or cut off ties with your dealer, just stop doing it. This is like needing to have your parents tell you to do your homework or something. You are in control of your life. You will feel much more empowered if you do it yourself.

            That’s a shit take with a fuckton of stigma and misinformation behind it, I could argue this all day but I don’t care enough. You are no expert and know nothing more than your vibes and feelings, which of course in 2025 your opinions must have as much value as our facts why not?

                How you came to that conclusion when I calmly explained you are a nincompoop for acting like any addiction is merely a self-control issue that only a weaker man would resort to therapy for?
