I hadn’t thought of that, but it makes sense. I don’t have an addiction to my phone, but I used to about a decade ago. Purging my social media (deleting all accounts) and going cold turkey worked wonders for me.

These days I can use some social media without getting addicted, but the key is to not allowing any social media apps to give notifications. When I used to be addicted, every time I got a Facebook notification, I couldn’t stop myself from opening the app and then I found myself aimlessly scrolling and time has passed. Now I use it when I choose, instead of when someone else chooses for me.
