Addicted to YOUR smartphone??...I know I am

Hey Everyone! Hola como estan ustedes por mis hispanas leidos! Today I was in the clinic waiting for my girlfriend medical check-up and I picked up "Today's Health" magazine and started skimmin' through it. And then suddenly and article of EPIC proportions HIT ME! Entitled "Are you addicted to your smartphone," the article talked about having the convenience of a smartphone in the palm of your hands releases the same hormone that people addicted to CRACK secrete. It's FASCINATING too, because I always find myself checking my phone waiting for a text from someone..ANYONE!! And the reason I do this is because I now have an emotional attachment to my phone. I wait for a "high" and that "high" being receiving a text from someone, and preferably it being a happy one :-) This psychoactive subconscious phenomena has affected MILLIONS with cell phones and now I am going to try to inform the public!!

First: Mental Barrier
A treatment it said for getting rid of this is start by forming a mental barrier from you and your phone. TECHNICALLY!!! Every time your phone goes off you DO NOT have to check it immediately...but sadly most of check it instantaneously. So, step 1is to form that barrier and resist the urge to just reply to that text.

Second: It's not going ANYWHERE
You are in a car and your phone goes off, you check it, and put yourself at risk and others by checking your phone. I challenge everyone, myself included, to start by turning off your cell phone while driving. Get to point B from point A by having a consistent look at the road and not your lap. This is just a small step toward breaking the addiction from smartphones, but I know it will work.

Studies show it takes 6 weeks to break an addiction, so from this point out forum I will join you in the race to stop the SPA (SmartPhone Addiction) and together we can FIGHT AND WIN THIS WAR..........................(ok....maybe a little too dramatic)!
Nonetheless, spread the word and let me know what YOU think about this addiction. Is it phony? Are you addicted?

Thanks Mario :)
