In today's world, we are more connected than ever. Social media, streaming platforms, and endless notifications keep us glued to our screens. But have you ever wondered if you might be addicted? This phenomenon, often called digital alcoholism, refers to excessive screen time that negatively affects our mental and physical health.

What is Digital Alcoholism?

Digital alcoholism is not about drinking but about being intoxicated by technology. Just like alcohol dependency, excessive screen use can lead to unhealthy behaviors such as:

• Compulsive scrolling

• Anxiety when away from devices

• Sleep disturbances

• Reduced face-to-face interactions

• Declining productivity

Signs You Might Be a Digital Addict

• Checking your phone first thing in the morning

• Feeling restless without your device

• Endlessly scrolling through social media

• Neglecting work or personal relationships due to screen time

• Experiencing eye strain, headaches, or fatigue

How to Overcome Digital Alcoholism

1. Set Screen Limits – Use apps to track and limit screen time.

2. Create Tech-Free Zones – Keep devices away from your bedroom and dining table.

3. Practice Digital Detox – Take a break from screens, even if just for a few hours.

4. Engage in Offline Activities – Read a book, go for a walk, or spend time with loved ones.

5. Mindful Usage – Ask yourself, Is this necessary or just a habit?
