The past week has shown humanity at its worst: A horrific terrorist attack left at least 1,300 Israelis dead, among them peace activists and even innocent children.

Ashamed to admit it, but for me Reddit is hard to kick. I would spend hours on various subs and writing comments. I had 8.5 years invested till I got kicked out. I didn’t realize how much time I was spending on the site until that happened.
I dropped it cold turkey after 15 years. I’ve gone back and looked at it a couple times and noped the fuck out of there. No regrets.

Seems like you know what you did on purpose
