You're Starving at a Banquet
Listen—I know this hurts. Limerence feels like withdrawal, because neurologically it is. But here’s the truth you need to hear: you’re starving at a banquet. You’re begging for crumbs of affection from a broken human while God is offering you a seat at the table. That’s not romance. That’s idolatry fueled by dopamine.
In this Short, I call out the chase, the begging, the social-media stalking—and I give you a real-time challenge to break the spell. If you’re obsessing over someone who doesn’t choose you, block them now. Don’t negotiate with your brain. Choose peace over the hit.
If you did it, comment “Idol smashed.” Like, subscribe, and share this with someone who needs to detox from chasing validation. —Michael, Sober Psychology

No toxic positivity, no hidden shame—just real conversations about what it actually takes to heal.
