Deleted it and cold turkey. The first couple days were hard and I had to find other things to do when I had the urge to scroll. After that; I almost forgot about it.

That is really hard. The only tip I have is distraction. Play a board game, read something... And when you feel the urge, tell yourself, "I've made it this far, I'm not going to ruin my progress now just to see whatever product ABC is promoting." If you can make it until the morning, you're doing amazing and you reward yourself with some chocolate or an episode of your favorite show. Once you resist the urge for a couple days, it stops calling. And it feels so good to just not care anymore.

thanks. im gonna keep that in mind. I always laugh at myself how I tell people that I sleep so little cuz I suffer from bad insomnia while in honesty im causing it to myself with all the midnight scrolling. its just such a good escape from my stressful life.

I recently did that Twitter.
One day I was like this is just taking up way too much of my headspace that it doesn’t deserve.
I expected to miss it much more than I do. Every now and then when something’s going on in the news I log in on my laptop (so that I shouldn’t download the app on my phone) to see what everyone’s darshening, but on a daily basis I really don’t miss it.

I hope not I! I actually am supposed to be finishing things tonight.
To my eternal credit I have already:
- put in a load of laundry
- put in a load of dishes
- cleared the supper table
- put away the food
- eaten a slice of cheesecake in preparation for Shavuos
- argued on the Chinuch Petition thread
- checked off a few of the subitems on my to-do list
- ...and reloaded Imamother a few times to see if there's anything I can pretend is more urgent than my next steps.
