Great way of sharing your 30-day detox (I'll try and come up with another less yuppie term....)! I experienced some surprising anxiety during my first couple of days - any I don't even own a cell phone- but restricting myself from computer use for the entire day (apart for a slice of time before breakfast) was extremely challenging. The anxious/antsy feelings however, was also an indication to me that I was doing something right. I was literally flushing my body of the addiction and started to gain more restful feelings after a few days. All this to say, the struggles are a reflection of the entanglement, and thus experiencing them is ultimately helpful. Persist, remain committed yet forgiving. All the best:)
Thank you so much for the kind words of encouragement! Re: yuppie term, I have heard people other than you use it, so please don't take that as a direct dig at you! So sorry if it appeared more mean-spirited than intended (which was not-at-all).
Haha- not at all - I was under no illusion that this was 'my' term and you comment certainly did not seem mean-spirited.
Whenever you feel the tension of being away from the device-drip this month, take it as a prompt to go see your daughter/hold her/walk with her etc. She is the true beneficiary of your new-found attention.
