Depressed? Aha just stop being depressed it's that easy

Addicted to alcohol? Well just stop drinking, duh?!

Even though it's banned and the app wont' work, people are constantly switching back to the app and opening it over and over out of addiction, see that it doesn't work, close it, and a few seconds or minutes later, do it again.
