Today is the day I start with abstinence from recreational technology once again. I am already struggling tremendously. But this attempt I will seek help and talk about how I feel. I won’t crave alone. This time
Hey Jan, good that you’re checking in! We understand cravings aren’t easy but you are more than your cravings. Your mind is like a tool that’s not functioning properly now. It causes you trouble but it can be mended. One minute at the time if necessary
This was posted on a nicotine thread… Not the same I know, but maybe some useful principles that could be applied?
that is very useful. I can make that work somehow
It didn’t have to come to one minute at a time. I decided to clean the house and then I attempted to do homework
Technology is a really hard one. I have absolutely no advice but I did want you to know that I hear you and I know that struggle is real. Keeping busy seems to be the theme with all addictions. I honestly don’t know how you do it. I have to have something going all the time whether it’s TV, music or my phone. I give you a lot of credit for doing what you’re doing. Sending positive vibes your way.
Even TS has it to some extent. For technology addicts like me, it can be really hard not to try and get all badges.
