i wish i can stop mladapative daydreaming , i wish i wake up someday without that sick need for talking to some imaginary friend.

can you tell me if anyone could stop for good?

i wish i can stop , i don't want to live with maladpative day dreaming

i once stopped for 3 months then i fell , the highest i go now is 3 or 5 days in  a row

I suspect that it is like alcoholism in that you are never cured, rather in remission and have to be constantly on guard.  Look at it this way, do you still want to be doing this decades  from now and have to look back on life of missed chances and relationships?  I am 68 and have been free from them, with constant temptation, for a year.  That's it, a year and looking back I am horrified

With me, I have to be having a schedule to keep me occupied so I won't be day dreaming all day. I usually day dream when I am extremely bored or when I haven't been interacting with nay friends or family, so that's when I start making More of an effort to hang out with people and that helps. Another thing that helps is I journal almost every day. By writing what's on my mind, that helps me not to get lost in my own thoughts but stay in reality. Hasn't gone completely away, but this helps.
