Tried the envelope method for one week and now I'm hooked

I've always just used a card and tracked everything in an app. Last Tuesday I pulled out $120 cash for groceries and eating out, split it into two envelopes. By Sunday I had $14 left in the restaurant one and $0 in groceries. I thought it would be annoying but I actually spent less because I saw the cash thinning out. Got me wondering, does anyone else do this long term or does the novelty wear off after a month?

Did you actually stick to the envelope limits or end up raiding the grocery one for takeout?
