Dallas Bragg tells people who say they want to quit their harmful habit that wanting isn't enough. Real change means putting the phone away, installing blocks, finding accountability, and leaving behind friends tied to it. If you're not willing to do those things, at least admit it.
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 'em, you can't live without 'em. But you have to be willing to make the sacrifices. And until you are, you're not saying goodbye.
