We both are perfectionists, but after reading the advice from everyone here, we are trying to be more flexible. Your advice is concise, but very helpful. Thank you very much.

I absolutely agree. I was wasting time doom-scrolling through social media apps. It started to cause lots of problems for my health and relationships. Other than that, I felt like I was wasting time on things that didn’t deserve my time, but I wasn’t able to control my urge to pick up my phone. I’m very lucky that my girlfriend helped me through this hard time. If your friends or anyone else ever needs help overcoming their addiction, then let me know, and I’ll share that article with you that has helped me overcome my phone addiction.

I’ve tried lots of things, but nothing worked, due to which I became hopeless. Then my girlfriend found that article and shared it with me. And it worked like magic. Nowadays, I’m a little bit tight on money because my girlfriend and I are going on our first overseas trip later this month; otherwise, I would have donated him at least $10.

A few months ago, things got so bad for me due to phone addiction that I had to go to a therapist, but he was asking for hundreds of dollars to help me. I still cannot believe that it is available for free, and only a few people have supported that article writer. I think either this person is too stupid to not make money from this or maybe he is too kind.

I hope more and more people support him for changing the lives of so many people.

I’m sharing this story with everyone so I can inspire others to work on their phone addiction before it takes over their lives. Phone addiction ruined my life, and I don’t want anyone else’s life to be ruined due to this.

I’m happy to know that my post has put a smile on someone’s face. Nowadays I’ve got a got a summer break from university, so I don’t use alarms. But I’ll definitely buy an alarm clock for me when my university starts again and I’ve got to wake up early. Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful tip.

I didn’t want to bore anyone with details; that’s why I never shared everything. But here is the link: A Practical Guide to Overcoming Phone Addiction
