Curiously

Social media addiction can be overcome with technology and God.

the technology I used was the Freedom App. unlike other app usage limiters, Freedom App has the ability to simultaneously block the social media apps from not just your mobile but you personal laptops, backup phones, tablets and even your enterprise laptops. The charge of $59 per year is well worth it, just like the bearblog. Freedom app, lets you customize your block list, which could be the apps, and even the websites of these apps. Freedom does a good job to block the websites of say Instagram from any browser you may have on your devices, not just Safari - like how iOS's website blocking works.

During the first two days, I had withdrawal symptoms, where I was craving for a hit of social media, just to normalize the mental stimulation withdrawal. But by the third day, I can see drastic changes in my dependency.

Well the other secret ingredient is God. The desire for social media, needs to be replaced with an alternative. Books, music, walks, they dont cut it. The mind will still wander. The only thing that helps is God. So chose your favourite One and focus intently on them, not just when you have cravings for social media, but at all times.
