Whatever be the addiction, it simply means that 'it' is in control of your life and you have become a slave to 'it'. Addicted to social media robs you of your precious time and in most cases, leads you towards unhappiness and disaster. When addicted to social media, you will not have the time for what is important to you, like urgent professional needs and being with even close relationships.
Mahatria emphasizes in this podcast that the only way to get rid of Social Media addiction is by simply staying away from it. You will have to drop anything that is robbing your time and disturbing your peace.
