Too much time spent on phone
Hi, I am currently spending a lot of time on my phone. By a lot I mean almost any time in the day it is possible. I go to office and the first thing I do is play online on my phone. While driving I listen to the episodes in Netflix. If I am having dinner alone then a again I would watch something and I'm waiting for the evening to be over so that I can play on my phone and no matter how hard I think to not go beyond a certain point say 12 pm, I cannot stop and mostly it happens that the battery dies out and then I sleep. I have deleted and reinstalled this game multiple times and now I just cannot stop playing it. It is on my mind all day long and I can't wait to start playing it again. Can someone please help me out.

Two things you need to think.
Why I am unable to leave this. Is this addiction without cause or some other factor stress etc pushing me towards it.
And how I am affected by this. How much it is harming me say in terms of time loss risk involved distraction from other things of life
Next Steps
One way of coming out is complete digital detox where you put away all gadgets for some time and engage yourself in healthy positive activities. If this does not help then meet psychologist for detailed analysis and remedial steps.
