Mobile and Social Media Addiction is a real issue

I should know. I’ve been there.

Mobile Addiction may seem like a funny idea to most. How can you be addicted to a cell phone? It’s a fairly innocuous piece of kit that everyone carries around with them and uses... often.

I was in the same boat. How could I possibly be addicted to my phone, the News or social networking and media? Well, turns out I was, so I asked myself "How can I beat social media & mobile addiction?" and created myself a 30 day challenge to get my life back.

For good.
