Yep. I’ve pretty much quit Candy Crush. I log in every couple of days just to send people things they have asked for and I might play a couple of rounds but usually, I don’t even do that.
Considering how addicted I was to Candy Crush, it’s a little surprising that I quit so cold turkey.
Or maybe it’s not.
I reached a level that I could not beat. Not after game after game after game and hour after hour of trying. I didn’t even come close. That made it not fun anymore and just very frustrating and annoying. I don’t really enjoy being frustrated and annoyed, I have enough of that in my every day life — I don’t need it from a stupid game.
Even better — I’ve deleted the game from my iPhone. That means I’ve really quit Candy Crush because I’ve never played much on my laptop via Facebook (my computer doesn’t like it.) I’ll still log in and send y’all stuff, sometimes. I might not be addicted any longer, but I know a lot of you still are.
Have fun — I hope you never get stuck the way I got stuck.
I go through phases. I’ll not check it for weeks (um, you may have noticed) and then I’ll play it for three days. Rinse, repeat. Getting stuck is frustrating and I’m with you on not wanting that, but it’s also BORING. I can think of better ways to be bored.
Whoa. This gives hope for me. I’ve tried stopping, but I keep going back. I’ll tell myself that I’ll quit after X-level, and then I keep playing. I know I just need to delete and go cold turkey, but then I open the app and start playing. Though I have restricted myself to only after 9 pm.
I never tried Candy Crush, much to consternation of my Facebook friends you send me daily requests. But I did have a rather strong addiction awhile back to Bejeweled. Once I deleted it off my ipad and iphone, the addiction has been conquered and I don’t even miss it. I quit it cold turkey!
