Eliminate Watching Tv While Having Dinner With Family

[VishalGurung]

HI All,

I am trying to eliminate one of the biggest distractions in my life -Television. The problem here is my family is addicted to TV and they are adamant on having TV switched on while having dinner together. I want to have dinner with my family, but I fear I will go back to getting addicted to TV again. Anyone who has faced this issue or have any suggestions to share on how to deal with this matter?

Simply talk with them, tell them that you're trying to remove that addiction, I'm sure they will understand and they will try and help you with it.  Good luck.

Time to flex the decision muscle.You have to decide one way or another

You can`t expect from your family to skip watching, they are the majority.

It`s your karma  and challenge to overcome this habit while watching it!

Just leave the table if they switch on the TV.

Talk to them about your problem. 

I had the same problem with my family.
