A personal account of someone who quit YouTube addiction and the changes they experienced in their mental health, habits, and daily life.

YouTube addiction, one month sober

Why are you addicted and what can you do better?

Have struggled with exactly that myself and boy was it miserable. One day I decided to quit cold turkey for 3 months. I would only access YT for the investment classes and lives.
It was really worth it. Really helped me rewire my mind.
Keep going, you got this. And thanks for sharing.

Awesome! Congrats!
