#2It would really help if there was some kind of overview of the game, or at least some demo cards. I have no idea what any of this is, except that they want to charge me $5 to find out more about what they are talking about.

#5I'm curious about whether the creator has had any direct experience with addiction, and if so, whether this type of game has helped him.

Probably because it's an account from someone associated with this game and Rejection Therapy (made by the same guy).

Not that there's anything wrong with posting your own stuff on HN, just explaining why the title might sound biased.
Edit: Although there seem to be a few accounts that post primarily on Rejection Therapy-related items. A quick browse around:

Anyone know what that card means or why it says "20 min."? If these cards are just repeating common suggestions for dealing with and overcoming addiction, there's something distasteful IMO about charging for the downloadable version...
