My internet was out for 24 hours.
-
2019-02-26 at 6:31 AM UTCI couldn't pay my fona-fone bill cuz I couldn't get online.
No fone and not internet for 24 hours.
I just laid in bed smoking weed trying to starve myself to death.
All I ended up doing was feeling super weak after only eating 2 small meals all weekend.
Everything felt wobbly and twitchy and super slow all morning.
I was going to call off work but I couldn't call cuz my fone was shut off.
Went into work and felt weakend and weird all day.
Now I ate big brownie and am awesome drunk.

2019-02-26 at 6:40 AM UTCFuck I knew this stuff was addictive

2019-02-26 at 6:40 AM UTCI honestly don't remember the last day I went completely without internet or connectivity of some sort. It's probably been years.

2019-02-26 at 6:43 AM UTCOk I totally see how being digitally connected to the rest of the world can be habit-forming... even to the extent of constituting a genuine addiction. But, physical withdrawal symptoms like shaking and all that? That just seems a bit overly dramatic.
I highly recommend taking periodic breaks.
Go camping somewhere, with friends etc, where there is no reception at all.
Maybe it's not so much the devices that are addictive but the sense of community they provide. Get that community elsewhere... at least for an occasional break. -

2019-02-26 at 6:50 AM UTCIs going camping really all that different though. I think the main issue with internet addiction is the constant stimulation. If you go camping you've got tents and fires and conversations and drinking and food and a lot of stuff to do.
Then you go back home and crave the stimulation, so there you are on the internet. Again.
I guess the trick is to direct that addiction for stimulation towards positive. -

Well, assuming we're taking Fona's word for it that he was actually going through the hellish experiences of withdrawals, we can safely conclude that his case is maybe somewhat atypical and in need of some kind of intervention.
The camping thing would, at least presumably (maybe not though, but it might be worth trying anyway), help him get used to just being away from the devices.
Also, Fona, when was the last time you read a book? -

Did I mention I was semi-thinking of killing myself.
Probably due tyo the fact I stopped taking my meds.
But I feel better off my meds.
And I feel hella better loaded on malt liquors and weeds
I read a book last night that tort sent me.
It sucked and I set fire to it. -
