Dont have hope

Hi @Wolf490, welcome to Talking Sober :wave: :innocent: Sorry to hear about your phone addiction. Phones - specifically the software on phones (any software which is trying to get your attention) - are designed to attract attention and engagement from phone owners, and phone owners who are prone to addiction are susceptible to falling into the “rabbit hole” of losing themselves in the phone (much like other addicts lose themselves in sex or drugs).

There are users here on Talking Sober who have grappled with technology-related addictions. I hope he won’t mind, but I’ll tag one member I know of (@Crazy_Dutchie), who has shared about his journey recovering from gaming. Here’s one thread where he shared some of his experiences:

Recovery from any addiction is always one day at a time. Stay connected - connecting with other people helps keep you out of the addiction pit - and keep learning from other people who are recovering from addiction. It works if you work it.
