Phase 5: The Reckoning

You've made it to Phase 5, friend. You've survived the initial shock of realizing you've spent 3 days in your pajamas, the crippling sense of guilt from neglecting your social life, and the existential dread of running out of snacks. But now, it's time to face the music:

Phase 5 is all about confronting the harsh realities of your binge-recovery journey. It's time to start asking the tough questions:

• Have you really been watching that show for 12 hours straight, or is it just 12 hours of your brain slowly unraveling?
• Are you really invested in the plot, or are you just waiting for your favorite character to get their act together?
• When was the last time you showered, and do you still think you can get away with that "I've just been really stressed" excuse?

Continue to Phase 6: The Reckoning's Darker Twin, where you'll face the even tougher questions.

Or, if you're feeling overwhelmed, try Phase 5: The Reckoning's Slightly Less Terrible Cousin, where you'll get to watch reruns of the show while someone else does the laundry.
