That shows a lot of introspection and strength to figure out that something has become a negative part of your life and that you needed to remove the source of the negativity. It can happen with all different things, even things some of us wouldn't even consider being toxic in some way. Our brains are all different and knowing when yours was creating an addictive attachment to something that was negative for you is pretty darn smart. I didn't give up traditional social media until it almost killed me. It's not the same as alcohol or gambling, but addictive behaviors can make us unhappy or unhealthy and stopping them shouldn't get anyone downvotes. So boo to those people. Good for you for knowing where a limitation stands for you in this particular instance. Maybe someone else will realize the same thing is happening to them and sharing your experience will help.
