How do I break my addiction to my phone??

[Helpmechangemymindsetplease]

If you have got over a similar addiction how did you do it? How long did it take you and what did you do instead? Did you put in place times you could look at it?

I am wasting my life on my phone and expecting something from it . In the end it gives me nothing. Or nothing real anyway.

I’ve not broken the addiction yet but am taking steps - I set up screen time and set (for me) quite low limits for social media - I wish it were harder to circumvent this but at least it’s a daily reminder not to stare at my phone the whole time.

It also stays downstairs at night and I have Alexa to wake me up, stops me surfing last thing at night / first thing in the morning

Get rid of it.
Get a basic Nokia type phone
