How did you quit Instagram addiction?

It’s so addicting and stimulating.

I mainly use to check about my home country but it sucks you into its algorithm and you start checking it every couple of hours. Everyday. You start posting stories. Watching all the endless stories and posts. It feels nice but shallow. You repeat the cycle. 
it’s so freaking addictive.

Delete an app from your phone, log out from browsers after each use, and you can even install Chrome extensions that disable stories, reels, etc. It's fully customizable.

I've successfuly went from 5-6h Insta screentime to basically 0-10 minutes a day. Most days 0.

Finding and focusing on my life purpose suddenly erased all minor problems from my life.

You want to go cold turkey? Or you still want to be able to use it? I feel like if you’re determined enough to go cold turkey you could do it and not use it at all. But if you still want access to it, it’s a little more challenging because yeah you’re stepping foot into the river and it’s hard not to get wet. So I bought a Brick device, which means I can lock my phone out from certain apps indefinitely, unless I have the tool to unlock it next to me. That really helps. And I also have two more buffers on Instagram. One of them kicks me out after I’ve been on for 15 minutes and the other one makes me take a breath and sets a time limit for me. This addiction is a challenging one, you basically have to be very determined. Also if you have a higher power that helped me a lot.
