      Honestly I’ve been addicted to reddit for several years, and it even had negative consequences for my life. When I was depressed I just used reddit all day and became obsessed with the subreddit moderated. I deleted that account and now I’m in a much better place but that constant urge to open reddit is still there.

      Before July 1 my reddit usage was around 2 hours every day, now it’s been 0 for 5 days.

      So I’d like to Thank Reddit admins for this.

        Happy for you friend! I also went from a few hours a day to nothing. Wasn’t trying to improve myself, it was just out of sheer rage at how things were being done over there. Any time I would log in I would feel self hatred and just end up making lengthy comments about spez being an asshole.

        Question, have you tried replacing the hobby? I’ve found hiking and writing - (writing lyrics/other things as I hike/walk) to provide even more enjoyment than I was getting online 24/7

        I put a time management app on my phone for that. After 5 minutes, reddit was blocked for an hour. Max time on app, 30 minutes a day.
