Trying to End my Phone Addiction | Day 1 

Same, 1 year ago i deleted my facebook.

Same! 3 years social media free. Praise Jesus! 💛🙏🏼

That’s smart , you got rid of the temptation to be on apps.

How would that work if I have all Apple products??? I would want a flip phone as well

@@jessicaalvarado208 You would have to just back up all of your info onto your computer. I had to get an external hard drive (found one for $40 on Amazon) and transfer everything onto there because I have an hp computer and I didn’t want to clog it with a bunch of stuff. You can still keep your iCloud and have access to it but mine was so full I would’ve still had to pay the 2.99 a month and I didn’t want to do that so I just cancelled it. I still have an Apple iPad but I don’t pay for storage anymore so it can barely do anything I honestly am probably going to get rid of that soon also. I switched my phone service over to a company called patriot mobile they’re a Christian company and so sweet. They send me emails asking me to pray about things happening in the world I really enjoy doing business with believers. I was able to keep my phone number so it was a smooth transition. Instead of using apps I just use websites now to do what I need to do and not having that easy access is oddly much more freeing. Looking back I realized I was never using my phone but my phone was using ME! I honestly don’t ever see myself going back to a smart phone. Using a flip phone has forced me to use my brain and survival skills again lol. It took time away from reading my Bible and praying and just being present and in the moment with my kid instead of looking up a recipe then ending up down the rabbit hole of some conspiracy 😂 I want to give more to God and set a better example for my kid. Viv was absolutely right, God deserves better and so do our children. ❤️

How you typing this bruh 💀

Yes, I also got a "flippy" or a "dumb phone." A good deal of self-awareness came back to me, although you end up losing the cool card.

I second that suggestion ❤

Thats good! will be doing this even if its for shorts or reels!

Definitely I would like to try this. Thank you

That's good! i need to try this

Amen!!

or you could just be a disciplined individual like moi

Stay tuned for more ways to overcome this addiction

I can't delete youtube and Facebook. They come with the phone it's annoying. If I disable them, I still go back 😢

Amen I'm so overwhelmed

Yes this is so TRUE!!!

I think I’m slick because I don’t even use tik tok ig or fb anymore but my youtube watch hours are embarrassing 😭

i've deleted it a couple times then download it again to "search" something up and ends up getting me addicted again😭

Wow I feel so seen😂😂thank you for posting this. We are set free already, we just have to walk in it🫡. Im so tired of delaying my life(it's been a 5 yr battle with TikTok/ig which is so embarrassing)​@@faithwithvivian

Try turning off your phone when you are home from work! it really helps me

@@faithwithvivian thanks

I'll try that

you can do it!

@@faithwithvivianthanks sis

I like your videos. A few weeks ago I read a book focused on that. It's called: «Digital Liturgies: Rediscovering Christian Wisdom in an Online Age» Samuel D. James. This book won the 2024 Christian Book Award in the Faith& Culture category. How the Habitat of Internet Technology Undermines Christian Wisdom. With advancements in internet technology, people can get instant answers to just about any of their questions, connect long distance with family and friends, and stay informed with events around the world in real time. In Digital Liturgies, tech-realist Samuel D. James examines the connection between patterns in technology and human desires. Everyone longs for a glimpse of heaven; James argues they are just looking for it in the wrong place―the internet. This accessible book exposes 5 “digital liturgies” that prohibit people from contemplating big truths, accepting the uncomfortable, and acknowledging God as their Creator. It then calls readers to live faithfully before Christ, finding wisdom through Scripture and rest in God’s perfect design.

God Bless you!
