Unplugged

Have you ever wondered why you keep reaching for the screen even when you promised yourself you wouldn’t? Somehow minutes became hours after you told yourself:Just five more minutesJust one more videoJust one more gameI’ll stop after this purchaseBefore you knew what happened, hours passed and the same cycles begin again. The problem was never the technology itself. Phones, apps, games, shopping sites, streaming platforms, and online communities are part of modern life. The problem begins when technology stops being something you use and becomes something you turn to for escape.Unplugged: Using the Twelve Steps for Cyber Addiction is a practical recovery workbook for anyone struggling with internet addiction, social media addiction, gaming addiction, smartphone addiction, excessive screen time, online shopping addiction, or other compulsive digital behaviors. This book does not ask you to throw away your phone. Instead, it helps you understand what you may actually be reaching for beneath the screen: relief from stress, anxiety, boredom, loneliness, fear, shame, comparison, or emotional discomfort.This recovery workbook includes:A cyber addiction self-assessmentReflection questions and writing promptsScreen time management strategiesA 30-Day Digital Reset planResources for continued recovery and supportRecovery is not about rejecting the modern world.
