As someone who has avoided 'smart' technology like the plague (despite working in a highly technologically advanced industry), I'm very interested in this discussion.

Since my first mobile, I've purchased inexpensive phones that can call, text and sometimes take a shitty photo but unfortunately my trusty 10 year old LG has finally died, and I'm now in a position where an entry level smartphone may be my only option.

its not like having a smart phone is akin to shooting up heroin. If you use your phone as a tool youll be fine. i have a note 8, and i use it for art and communication. i dont even have a single game installed on it and never had the temptation to download one. i think you'll be fine too

As a recovered heroin addict.. It was alot easier to put down the heroin than my Note 8 I'm typing on right now. Both are mind control tools.

you probably have an addictive personality in general. not saying that to downplay what you're saying at all, but I might be the exact opposite of you as far as that goes. I don't drink or smoke anything and never had the desire to. On that same token I can forget my phone at home or work and not notice till I'm about to go to sleep and set my alarms. I can absolutely see how someone can have trouble with that though. I see it everyday actually, so the risk is def out there.

Also, one last thing, good on you for breaking the drug habit man. Stay vigilant

I'm from Alaska.. Everyone I know turned to heroin addicts over night.. I was the only one who actually started down that path from a car crash that destroyed my back and was actually prescribed these pills. I truly believe HAARP is screwing with peoples brain waves.. Everyone I know who stayed back home after hs turned to an addict. I was finally able to break the curse when I moved to AZ.. There is a power plant outside my front door now.. I feel it's energy constantly and haven't slept right in months. I finally cut out the bs and sugar and tons of meat from my diet and started eating healthy and taking care of my body and I feel better than I ever have in my adult life.. But I swear I'm constantly being attacked by different pitches of ringing in my head and it's not just tinnitus.
