No matter how much you do not want to. And if you have an iPhone, set limits under Settings &gt; Screen Time. 1- It will remind you to stop using your phone. 2-It will also tell you which apps besides games are feeding your phone addiction. Consider deleting those apps too.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Chlo S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">This is a really hard question to answer. I am as you addicted to my phone games, and it takes way too much time of my day when I should be doing other things like cleaning and playing with my child. My latest strategy is to just go \u201ccold turkey\u201d, so I\u2019ve erased the games from my phone, but I know that I can always get them back, and I don\u2019t think that is a good thing, it makes it easy to relapse. And in my journal I log how many days I\u2019ve been without gaming, and that\u2019s something that keeps my spirits up. I also write \u201cIt was good of me as an act to myself not to play games today.\u201d And last I would like you too think of what it is that makes you want to play? In my case in is an escape from doing things I should be doing that I think is boring and also an escape from anxiety and stress.  Try to think of something else to do that aren\u2019t addictive and that is stimulating and fun. Good Luck!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>William X.
