HuniePop: How Do I Stop This Game from Ruining My Life?
Short answer
Suggested fix (unconfirmed): Seek professional help for your drinking and smoking habits and get mental‑health support. Stop playing the game, return to school, and replace the vice‑filled routine with healthier activities.
What you need to know
Playing this game can sometimes trigger or worsen unhealthy daily routines, leading to neglected schoolwork, increased substance use, and social withdrawal. If you find yourself skipping classes and relying on drinking and smoking while obsessing over characters like Jessie and Audrey, you need to break the cycle. Taking deliberate, grounded actions can help you regain control of your day and return to a healthier lifestyle.
Step by step
- Get dressed early in the morning before the urge to use substances or escape into bad habits takes over.
- Go outside immediately and find a quiet spot to focus on experiencing one sense at a time.
- Explore your thoughts in a calm environment and observe how those thoughts make your body feel.
- Let go of whatever is causing your mind to spiral into negative loops or cravings.
- Leave all distractions and toxic items behind when you step outside, recognizing them as harmful.
Tips
- Stay strong when the urge to drink or smoke whispers in your ear.
- Focus on healthy, real-world activities to replace your vice-filled routine.
- Seek professional help to address underlying mental health struggles and substance habits.
- Return to school and rebuild a structured daily routine that keeps you engaged offline.
What players reported
Basically I'm your average loner that has mental problems, but since first playing, I've picked up some nasty habits (skipping school, drinking n smoking). My question to everyone, how do I turn back to normal? My favourite women from Huniepop are Jessie and Audrey if that helps.
What players suggest
what works pretty well for me is, in the morning, before your vices start whispering in your ear to drink, smoke or whatever, just put on clothes then go outside. Find a spot and experience one sense at a time. Find courage to explore your thoughts and notice your they make you feel. If you find your mind spiralling, let go of whatever's causing it. Dont bring ♥♥♥♥, its all poison. Be strong…
thank you for taking this seriously. most people wouldn't care, or just be off-topic and not helping me. ill try that the next time im having these whispers in my ear
