Today I’ve struggled to keep my compulsions in check.
This afternoon I found that my brain was screaming for me to check the news, or Facebook or Twitter or SOMETHING!!!!
Some people say I talk shit - and well, today I’m going to. Literally.
I’m not usually one to chat willingly about my bathroom habits, but in the true sense of being open and honest I’m going to.
Well, I’m halfway there and I have to admit I’m feeling pretty good about this whole process. I started out thinking that I was really only going to focus on my main concern which was my dependency and addiction to my mobile device.

It’s getting close to the 30 day mark and I’ve noticed a lot of changes.
Changes in my life, changes in my personality and changes in my habits.
Have I missed social media throughout this process?
The answer to that is a resounding NO!
Oh how quickly the beast tries to escape if only a small gap is left in the door of it’s cage!
Tonight we had a family dinner to celebrate a bunch of achievements my daughters have managed to reach over the past few days.
The table we were seated at, well my seat at least, was directly facing a television screen with the news on.
Holy shit I made it! What an amazing trip!.
There have been considerable changes to my life, to me, to my habits and also the way I think over the past 30 days.
So what have I learnt from this experience?
