Hunched over my smartphone while my family slept, I knew I had to break my addiction. But how?

I can’t pinpoint the exact moment I became addicted to my phone. It happens without you noticing, like a frog slowly boiling in a pot. I always told myself my excessive screen time wasn’t a big deal, that my life was better with my phone in it. I made every excuse in the book: I was learning new things, keeping my finger on the pulse, being an efficient employee and staying up to date with the people I love.
