Tech solution

The answer SEEMS easy:

  1. put yourself on the list
  2. pass over your finances to someone else
  3. get a flip phone
  4. go to whatever counselling you can afford to identify and tackle the underlying problem.

Don’t make me laugh with this App Blocker stuff: we all know we’ll remove that from our phone immediately.

The point of this post is to ask about step 3 above. This seems like a great step on paper but has anyone gone through with it? I feel apps like “maps” “iMessage” and “music” are hard casualties on the road to turning your life around. It’s so funny how we can talk our way out of a solution
