Dallas Bragg tells people claiming they want to quit an addictive habit that the real problem is unwillingness to be honest with themselves. Real change means putting the phone away, installing blocks, and accepting accountability, not just saying you want to stop.
You say you want to stop using Tina, but you're not willing to make the changes. You're not willing to be completely honest with those around you. You're not willing to make the hard choices about putting your phone away or putting blocks on your phone or being held accountable to others. You're not willing to say goodbye to your user friends. You're not willing to say goodbye to your alter ego. Somewhere deep inside, You're not ready to say goodbye to Tina. You're not willing to say goodbye to Tina. And that's okay. At least be honest about it. Saying goodbye to Tina is like breaking up with a toxic ex. Can't live with them, you can't live without them. But you have to be willing to make the sacrifices. And until you are, you're not saying goodbye.
