I see friends, family, strangers, subconsciously go for their phones during thoughtless times daily. Have a moment to think... Scroll. Showering with their phone propped up watching a video. First wake up and spend an hour or two frying the mind.

It has gotten so bad in my friend group and close family I swear they could not function emotionally without consuming content. When you bring it up or any negative about it. Anger, distasteful emotions. How do you talk, convince, gain real traction towards slowing or decreasing time spent. Once or twice a day could be ok. These people do it for sometimes hours daily. It's sickening. Advice?

I've learned this technique by practicing the 12 Steps, if that's your thing. It's their addiction that's out of my control.

Also, I intend to learn more about cults and the steps to make someone realize their life could be different without the cult. That's a tough, long game tho. It could really be worth the investment of your time to your loved one.
