I hate addiction.

I've already broken free from a previous addiction (which will remain unnamed.) and that's a pain to deal with. Temptation is like a claw pulling me backwards. Thankfully I've avoided this addiction for a super long time.

Yet now I have a new addiction, escapism. It sounds alluring, since to me it's pretty much calling to me and saying "Hey, how about you take a 'break' from talking with God/studying/being a productive human being and watch some mindless YouTube videos? Play some video games man!"

School is tiring, and my brain is fried. Once I finish homework, I'm always tempted to lay down and waste time. That takes a whole 2/3 hours of my day after school. Most times I keep giving into this temptation.

As a Christian, it's awful to avoid following God to instead watch YouTube or play games. It's such a waste of time, I know. Yet I feel too tired to focus, and often I just give in.

That's going to be one of my main goals: to overcome my addiction to escapism. Do you guys have any ideas on how to overcome it? Have you struggled with escapism? I really need some help.

Have a good day/night guys, and don't forget to chuck your phone over your neighbor's fence. Unless you need it for Wattpad, or actually calling people.
