Phone Addiction

Greetings everyone!🙌

Let me start with this experience:
On a particular Wednesday, I was down without a battery, the power bank was off, there was no electricity, no fuel in the generator, and I didn't have money to buy fuel. So I took my phone and power bank to charge at a pay-charge centre. I took them there in the afternoon with the intention of collecting them in the evening around 7:00 p.m. before they closed. That Wednesday was evening church, and I attended with the mindset of collecting my gadgets on my way back because our church closes at 6:30 p.m.
Guys, church closed by 6:35 p.m., and I got to the pay-charge centre only to find it locked. They've closed for the day.
How did I cope that night? Mehn! That was my longest night ever.

I don't know how I got to this stage of my life where my phone is one of the things that matters most to me. I've become so addicted to it that being away from it gives me headaches. I know it's bad, but I can't help it. I've been queried many times to reduce my attention to the phone, but it's obvious...I have a coconut head.
Thank God for this stage, this era. I'm not just glued to my phone for nonsense; I'm making money. So I don't care what people tell me now. Lol😄

However, there are a few circumstances that can make me stay away from the phone for sometimes, and I won't feel it. These circumstances are as follows:

• Working

I've been in a working situation where phones are to be suspended for some hours until the work is done. No matter how addicted I am to my phone, I easily cope with such working conditions where I need to give in my full attention to deliver the work maximally. Although I can still deliver any work with my full attention even when my phone is around, some of these works come with such rules and I just need to obey.

To be honest, if not for the rules of no phone in such work, I would still be glued to my phone and deliver the work perfectly. I'm not easily distracted whenever it's brain work.
Unlike some of my friends, while in school, they switch off their phones and go on with No Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or movies during the exam period.

• Football match...Nigeria Match 🇳🇬

If you're looking for someone who's 100% patriotic when it comes to Nigerian football matches, this is him @kingsleyy.
I don't know how I arrived at this stage where I can give up anything to watch a Nigerian match 😄.
Whenever Nigeria is on the pitch, I put my phone aside to get my full dose of adrenaline being dragged.
This happens to every other match that I find interesting; I can keep my phone for that period and won't feel anything.

• During church

Aside from the situations mentioned above, the few times you would reach me and can't get me on the phone are during church services, be it evening services or Sunday services.
I work as an usher on every service day in my church, and we are disciplined to stay all through the period without a phone.
Yeah, during this period, I don't feel it; I don't feel the urge to close quicky to go back to my phone. Naah!

Conclusion
If you look closely at the situations highlighted, you'll see that they're all centred on activities. Which is to say, our body can cope with any addiction if we find a way to occupy ourselves.
