I think I'm addicted to my phone and I don't know what to do.

I'm sorry I came here because I was so inspired by how my friend was able to quit social media and make such a huge difference in his life that I wanted to do it too. But I'm now addicted to this site just as much as I am to Instagram. (Doesn't help my brother is always trying to get me to download apps to help me quit apps!) <br><br>I've tried everything in the book, putting my phone in a different room at night, getting rid of apps, using apps to quit apps, limiting my screen time to 3 hours a day, reading the screen time report, journaling...nothing is working. <br><br>My phone addiction has stopped me from having a career, from succeeding in school, from exercise, and I'm just so sick and tired of it. I've been trying to get rid of this addiction for about 8 years now and it still comes down to <em>me and my phone</em> and that's it. I'm in a relationship and I'm going on a trip with this person but then I was excited about it but then I saw how many hours I spent on my phone for the past year (I think about 160 days) and I just feel so ashamed and sad. I just want to delete Instagram and my phone and stop this addiction. <br><br>What can I do from here? I feel like I've tried everything. I feel like it's all in my mind but just can't stop.
