Addicted To Mobile

[sagaranupr]

Hi all, this is my confession.

I had recently posted about quitting weed. U guys had totally supported me in my quest to quit it. Invariably, I failed. I think I have quit but whenever my friends call I go out n smoke some. I don't hang out long with them(somehow feels I get destroyed more if I stay there). I come back n the 1st thing I do is...open YouTube. I watch it uncontrollably long time( I don't watch TV). After a couple of hours I get bored n guess what I set out to play online chess...which literally has never ending number of opponents. All I do is these 2 and it's been almost 2 years I have quit my job to prepare for an exam(which I convinced my parents as to its my childhood dream and don't crush it n all). My friends don't receive my call when I need to smoke it. But when I get a call I can't just say no. This has been my journey. Even today I woke up at 5am went for a good job, came back meditated for an hour(usually I do 30mins). But the worst part is I cannot, I repeat cannot convince myself to get to study(my work towards my goal). This is because yesterday I din smoke n my subconscious somehow tells today evening u will go till then pass time. N I pass time but guess what my friend doesn't even receive the call. I get frustrated n I pass one more day like that. This has been a repeat for an year almost n I can't do anything about it any suggestions? Please help me get to my goals. I cannot find my inspiration to do my work.

Thanks

Did you watch Leo's rather recent video about how to overcome addiction?  This may help with the video/mobile addiction..

I think you need to maintain a job and cover basic survival, but maybe you are not ready to totally quit weed just yet.

It's not the worst thing, smoking pot...

maybe relax and live and find yourself...

..maybe your goals will change and evolve...

Maybe you can tune into the moment more with weed and wait a year or so and then quit.

Maybe weed is fun and can help you get into the moment more and you will get your fill of it sooner or later and move on to a cleaner high, with meditation and yoga.  

There's no exact right path, customize what works for you.

You may be too worried, just relax... weed and mobile addiction will quit you eventually... if you are meditating and doing yoga.

seems the younger generations are on a fast tack, could be better off if they slow it down. Meditation works but there is real effort involved, pot can sort of jump start some mindfulness...
