we live in an ever connected. with gadgets the keepers in the league all day and in all places our obsession knows no bounds. as a tech savvy journalist i'm going to go on a journey to explore what it is that compels us to want to call ways be connected what we know is that the use of the internet elevates dopamine just like them just

like cocaine or some other drug. i want to see how all rejection to console technology affects people from all walks of life even though business or facebook is emphasizing the sentry they are the people now those tapes are you talking to work and she put it down to not even bleeding internally for like a week and i didn't realize that so so busy caught up on twitter and facebook and social media we don't know the effect of this technology on young children's brains maybe it's completely rewiring their brain to use it for the most and they actually . have a troubled. the golden state of california the home of many technology companies one of the most connected places on the planet and it's where i will experience my own unusual digital detox.

my name is phil avella and people tell me that i am an addict i don't do drugs i certainly don't have a drink problem that what i do. to social exclusion. i'm on my phone all day every day and my tablet is never really more than a few feet away. if i'm not speaking to people with my voice but i'm talking on facebook twitter instagram and the seemingly endless list of new ways to be socially connected. i am even guilty of posting pictures of food and.

most mornings i'm up at the crack of dawn on the first thing i do is check what i've missed. the i pad comes out for me to catch up with friends in far flung time zones where i will say good morning or good night depending on where they are i'll catch up with the early morning headlines over breakfast and then i'll plan my workout on my days meals using various hours. after that it's a pretty seamless transition of. the phone comes out ready for the community in the city. quite frankly i would be lost without it. as a journalist i think but i can't justify this you see i constantly need connection

and being up to date with the latest facts and figures is essential when you're trying to deliver the news general election that was always going to be the case but when work is over the truth is i just can't seem to stop. it in movies my friends they feel i'm never really there with them i am constantly connected yet at the same time and disconnected from space my friends who have called me to explain to you why they fail i spend far too much time playing with things like least i should be interacting with them for that i'm sitting on the chair ok and something that i'm going to do now i sit on my fire and i was probably about rhetoric and not for the first time i was on my five years in my messages very rarely interrupts was always on his for i don't say it's an addiction it's a happy state all of his friends and family tell him but i think he said he just keeps doing it to me to constantly know.

what's happening by this little piece of plastic that's what he excused himself that we want to enjoy his company and hear what he has to say and have a drink with a man catch up and see what's going on and we'll just and be involved in a conversation together because i do and i'm not just proud to have to say i'm bad with that i'm watching film with no t.v. . and i thought why am i doing this over forget about i look at facebook and it's become like a cartridge does not i'm for ever frustrated we will be driving somewhere spectacularly beautiful in the countryside is amazing and he's looking is followed for me the focus is wrong but it doesn't matter how many times i tell him i think you know it's a kind of a mild addiction so what makes you think i need to the fullest and as opposed to you grace to me a very very modern. reference to this. which stands for fear of missing out but what everybody has can you know these multiply the hours without banishing you

know what. i mean. when we've been filming this i've not touched my throat oh. ok yeah but you know if i was a cigarette i laid out for the other you got a lot of cigarettes by now you know or an alcoholic how to be in a drink as if it's ok. i don't know if you know it because it's a your phone off my phone when i do start to get slightly i'm still unsure of what they've said over this before perhaps not in such a concentrated grin that because they will deliberately making a point now but. yeah i mean i can see what they say at the same time i'm the first person that any of these will come to when i can get it working on the phones or. you know i'll be the one that will shepherds arrives so i i don't know if it is a problem but. i'm not sure i'm not convinced.

and it seems i am not the only one who is not convinced just look around you you can you see people cannot put their devices away very long. time is so precious we want to spend as much of it as we camp making digital contributions the thing is we're not even ashamed of it. eva is away this latest picture from the artist banksy shows just how much this is now a social issue a couple's loving embrace interrupted by the desire to see one of those doing. the increase in the use of one tel technology is the most rapid in the history of humankind people are taking to these increasingly although i mean just talk us through the way people of adopt a digital devices over the years ok so ten years ago social media didn't really exist at all and now we're at the stage where three hundred fifty million messages

are being shed each day on facebook we've got about four hundred million photos being shed and eight years. the video is created on you tube every single day and really social media has become part of the fabric of our everyday life it's into woven in everything that we do whether we like it or not it is part of our lives and it's there to stay and if anything we're going to see the rate of growth increase dramatically over the next few years so where do you see it going though you say it's going to be increasing dramatically how dramatically we're creating more data more information than ever ninety percent of all of the data that is being created by mankind is actually being created in the last two years and that's going to grow exponentially we expect in the next two years four times the data that is ever being created will be created and that's made up of largely consumer data plus a lot of selfies it is an awful lot of selfies and the thing is that that's being

stored for life and consumers don't understand that the photos selfies that they take today are there forever is it worrying when you look at for example this week we saw the announcement of this new watch people are going to be tracked more and more and these these organizations don't just sell these devices as a solution but will make phone calls or something you can check facebook or twitter or they're marketed as everything you can take photographs you can control things is that deliberate to draw people and. what these companies are doing is they're responding by in large to consumer needs in consumer demands what i don't know if you could say that they're creating them as well i think steve jobs is one third the customer doesn't know what they want until they show it now what customers don't know is they don't know the device they want but they know the benefits they want so if you ask people they say what would you like they're not very good at explaining the technology or even the social networks they want but they know the benefits and so what organizations tend to do is create the hardware or the

software which meets the needs and some of those needs. it's about south presentation about looking good about expressing to other people all the great things in life that you do and particularly that's part of the show addiction that we want to make themselves look really positives their friends want to show off their lifestyles and so owning the right kind of device at the right time is really important here and it gives you a social currency and devices that enable them to do that seem to be very successful. the global adoption of one telltale knowledge has been aided and abetted by the seductive lines of the latest sleek designs global giants like apple a synonymous with the almost religious fervor that surrounds the launch of their products was each event seems to feed an expected following of addicted to even teens. thank god i arranged to speak to one of our

his former in-store tech support to please a member of the so-called genius bar to new day after day he had to deal with the anxiety of customers waiting for the repair of the faulty device previously critical of apple he's asked us to keep his identity a secret whether ever signs of violence or real you know extremes that are absolutely absolutely. there is not much secret made about the last production team to our police for sex work teams who patrol partially because what you have an axe what teams in the stores in certain services your wife. partially because. it's such a hard expensive stop. there are several million dollars there are in the back of the store so bad that works a certain amount of protection but

a certain amount of physical protection for the employees also has to do with the funny. people grow very and. if you're frustrated to feel strongly feel stressed about happens what with technology but happens a lot when your technology doesn't work that you personally you feel these products coming out that. i'm happy to do tomorrow to buy search i feel that most of the people who work with me would say. there's not too much reason to be to be attached to your device and where there's sort of to feel sort of just more of the world. the incredible rate at which this teaching tool revolution has hit means that attention we're now living in a did you sleep defines your society there i don't see you can remember a so-called simpler time and age when there was no internet there were no connected from time to time since. companies that use you all approaching the know nothing else having to develop new software patterns of online as because of behavior the

challenge never faced by any generation before do you ever if you have a question somebody stalking facebook yes. you do so you say that without even without even thinking about stuff. i would do it you know there's that. not exactly facebook but those things you need to there's instagram where it's like you see the phone to look like the flight good album like everything go for i wouldn't do that. for them but how to love what they're doing and stuff i wouldn't create them out you know is it you know like every single you've got to be careful because when you scroll down you can accidently like if you. think you can really like investors from like eighty three weeks ago everything is just lie when you've been so he doesn't like it in the next well it's like the people you've been. that

know that yellow is still for you just. because they see in the next day it's like all right there's the whole. it was like a whole. you start to get like the wrong idea of things i have a texting is you can always read what i'm trying to say. because you can hear their voice you can sort of see them sort of nodding i always find myself when i'm texting. and i'm sort of as if it was a conversation and i find myself thinking well how do i say about context. like quite mean. for mexico itself by getting the right facial expression is good because they just want to you know present yourself as like you know all happy and smiling people the trend nowadays for male selfies is like just. browse

and then head to your forehead. yeah it's true a lot of stuff but. i'm pretty guilty of that to say that i would like to know are. older members of the community seem to fall into two groups the heavy uses of technology for work and play and those who are even citing this is the staus of the end of society but all of the people i spoke to all uses of some sort when somebody you put your facebook and you get somebody clicks like this pops up it's for like your status how does it make you feel well when i first started using facebook i was quite cool and maybe feel quite good seen through my ego is ok i'm going to. i think it's about you know it's different than that you know you put . people put comments and. i remember going back and looking to see if anyone's liked it or not but i can't be doing anymore i've had enough i just think the

business of facebook is. for size in the egg centric nature of people a sort of breathtaking arrogance. to think that other people were know. about their lives just find out so completely i wouldn't want to be sharing that you don't want to know with a problem absolutely. i managed to do what i'm having for lunch but i couldn't care less what you have. i wouldn't say i was addicted i think. people muse is addicted and that actually made perhaps it's more a compulsion to keep wanting to have a look at facebook or instagram or. i don't like the feeling when you go on holiday and you have a very good signal spoils my holiday as you can camping is to get away from all oh yeah you get away from certain things but i don't like getting away from feeling

connected if the signal ball drops down too low all the snow for each. the holiday ruinous for me and the three g.'s. that these days yeah you're retired. i must be addicted because. i have a mobile phone and you know lucked up around with my number. so i'm not left behind it's a great tool for following your family when you're not close it's. like skype built these things are terrific to see if they used properly i get physically i physically excited and stuff makes me smile if i see a bit technology and i think while somebody is going to either save me time it's going to be useful you know if i didn't look at my. email for a week i'd have five hundred s. and a lot of them would need actioning brutha this is it is i mean there are some of us haven't got time to manage to reply to people. does.

this. need. someone tell me that have to do. you know. i think i'm going to fly the flag just irresponsible joy not attached to the demands of other people either through work or just because everybody's out there and excessive. i'm starting to think that my use of technology isn't really that bad it's certainly not any more or any less than lots of the people who are switching so surely we can all be addicted will come we might check it at a clinic in connecticut with dr david greenfield a professor of psychiatry and a man who claims to be able to cure people if they did util addictions could i be classed as another my dear self diagnosis well i don't i don't know if you're an addict i mean the question is do you feel uncomfortable if you don't have your fix

of technology or have your phone with you all the time so you probably fall into the category of at least abusing it and somebody that might look at their level of view we're going to help you begin to desensitize your use of digital technology or the internet and the way we do that is using a device that uses a technique called. the r. stands for a movement desensitisation to reprocess it so what we're going to do is i'm going to ask you to imagine. on a scale of zero to ten. what it would feel like to not have your phone with you for a period of time your eyes are going to follow the lights as they move back and forth and there's going to be an audio signal that will also move back and forth what this does is is the hemispheres of the brain and what i've seen when i've used it is that it can actually lower the experience of discomfort or craving for something

and somebody has lived through this natural. physiological response and what we know is that the use of the internet and particularly certain tahn tent on the internet elevates dopamine just like gambling and just like cocaine does and other drugs. what the internet is is it's the world's largest slot machine every time you go on it whether it's the search for peace of information check an email a facebook update a tax it doesn't really matter the fact that it's unpredictable in terms of what and when is what contributes to the addictive nature of the internet because that variable ratio reinforcement schedule is the way a slot machine operates that's why people stand in front of a slot machine all day long pushing that button hoping that they're going to win something because every once in a while they do what that means is that you have to not get what you want one of

these devices for a long long time before you'll put it down and not pay attention to it anymore. having had the therapy i've got to say it didn't really relieve my desire to be connected but his theories do seem logical and they set me thinking about where all of this starts and the reality is that our addiction to gadgets emerged from our use of new technology developed here tech central also known as silicon valley you only have to drive around to see who the big residents saw in this neighborhood the home of startups and global brands like apple and google this place has a reputation for turning small ideas into life changing obsessions in two thousand and thirteen social networking giant facebook was the name on everybody's computer tablets and phone with a stock market flotation the creation of the world's youngest billionaire mark zuckerberg every julie working with mark in the early days his sister randi she

subsequently left and written about tech addiction. the message from her is clear do not get hooked is that almost like a collective responsibility for this place to say to the world you know your limits just watch out here after i left facebook i spent a year about traveling the world and just talking to people and saying you know is technology and net positive in your life if you feel like it's not why isn't it and i think people in silicon valley it's easy when you're here to get caught up in that world of you know what are we disrupting today what are we innovating let's go let's go but when you pick your head up and you talk to people people are scared of technology and all this rapid change they're overwhelmed by the change that it's bringing to their families to their work to their love lives to everything we're walking this really fine line i think all the time with tech because it's creating

all this innovation is creating so much opportunity but with any new innovation there are all these complications that come after the fact sometimes along after the fact that we don't know for example we don't know the effect of this technology on young children's brains maybe it's completely rewiring their brain in a new way that's going to render our current education systems just completely moot i think as a society we're getting a lot more conscious around what wellness means and it certainly doesn't mean being glued to a device twenty four hours a day worrying words from someone who won't supplicate is always on and being always socially connected and the i really use that just up the road from silicon valley to somewhere trying to help players just switch some already i will into the digital detox program called grounded i'm going in as a journalist but i'm going to be to cover this like once we've come to the technology in their field. we call it usual real names there is no child who work

alone the outside world might as well mostly exist. and something like this really end up session with technology. in nepal poverty leaves children vulnerable and at risk but sometimes those who say they can help cause the most harm when you shines a light on predators in the aid industry. on al-jazeera. i mean this is difficult to say whether someone is going for some of the spirit of this matter when it's true i think it's how you approach an official and that's what it is a certain way of doing it. in egypt a story in the eye out. the xenophobia violent and beating the drum for an ethnic civil war in the heart of europe. al-jazeera infiltrates one of the continent's past describing far right

my campground experience starts to soon as i join my fellow company on morning bus right there. real quick we get it done. but how to get another song that we now. get is a no holds barred american experience games city songs on the final of the shooting see to get lost internet get. it. out. there we are the costs because. i. feel there was my first. reply at the bottom of my foot away i'm looking forward to. it with a very good but quite honestly i am a shy brit who is way to step i may be smiling on the outside but inside filled with friends the next few days still.

get me and it. gets a bit of a weird experiences like the first place cool political goodness i found a little bit lonely festina been here a few hours i was thinking in the real world and i was told be to research my phone a lot you know just fiddle as a kind of way of not feeling like you know i'm sort of the outsider here but a confidant and it's a kind of situation where you have to make an effort you have to talk to people. you know and if you're shy which i. in some circumstances then it's kind of weird having to do that but that's what the whole experience is about. what camp rules are really clear they state that we must lock away all of our devices for the

anti-aging ration of our state we will see them again of course but at the end and i've got to say it feels really funny and one of my most treasured possessions to want such done we are pretty divided into individual camps claimed after animals so square as punch yourself so on i am in the bear camp and our mascot as a psyche pink bear joined by our jealously guarded camp flag the new likes six or seven people in all village by small village called the bird species like a whole lot. of science which we're probably going to later in front of everybody has to be really weird. started off with meditation which i went into you quite closed minded lee.

and then there was some weird bonding games. you know there's always people say shouting things to be really quiet corner a quiet little brace life my. business is totally bonkers. there and it was a real effort to to join in and not kind of just sort of look at it like her as an outsider. what is going on here but if it's a night it's going to be a pair of boots how welcome thing is like an empty fit or the time we're going to visit and we'll have the door kind of group down soon it's already crazy i'm going to fight quite difficult to join in without thinking can i have whatever my theory here.

we were was. was. was. was. we be at it was have been a there was are they. are the was this was. was take yes for showing that.

we would be really weird if we didn't have you guys hit me up. and so we're going to get to. play dance and the ability and sharing and crying and creating and making and reflecting and sitting in trees and sitting in your incident with people that are named silly news and then i brought. that up and we're going to have surreal moments. later on really did have the happen in my head he had. the must of mind behind all of this is the charisma. leave i better not here by his company. so i was working in los angeles as a vice president of a tech company is twenty four years old and building technologies that help

nonprofits get the word out and raise money so good great job fantastic environment working sixty hours a week at i phone and a blackberry had multiple laptops lead to my phone on my bed you know living the kind of silicon valley tech dream in los angeles and so one day i felt really sick so i stopped at the hospital on the test the my blood and found that i was actually down to about thirty six percent of my blood left and i found a small laceration and i saw figures and i didn't bleeding internally for like a week you know i didn't realize that i was so busy caught up on twitter and facebook and social media and building technologies that help change the world that i was so disconnected from my own reality and so we have been to. get away kids here and play. and it's amazing. after taking a two year retreat in southeast asia he came back to the u.s. now knowing what to do and i ended up there and cisco and i got on a street corner and i got on

a bus and everyone on the bus was like this and i just left southeast asia where i was on buses of knowing is about my language of connecting with everyone now i'm back in time to save my home and i can't have a conversation with anybody because everyone's face that they're going to so a few months later we realized everyone is always on everyone is at the level that i had been on for years before having followers and and always connected to their devices and worried about their own personal brands instead of their own personal families and so my girlfriend my partner and i decided let's take people on retreats and so that's when we want. summer camp. i'm on the cover in the camp to try to have an authentic experience that makes it difficult to come and tell you just how i'm really feeling i find a moment. and join the cum fire to sneak out and speak we just heard another big session about what's come far as we have lots of singing we sang the come crowd the theme song which was all about facebook and tell you my book prof and your i phone

going out of the tree. it was a really clear we experience god didn't warm to it at school i felt quite excluded up point and that was when i want to just kind of immerse myself in my own little world you know quite happily i would have pulled off and just saw that and played with it in the end i just sat there for the of my life's test tried to look like i was really enjoying it made by then three three probably feeling for me a lot different. but. tempo does change a lot throughout the day it's probably been put together very scientifically you know there's probably some kind of psychology involved i'm sure there is take this morning for example we were one came slight. since that time is banned here the

only time is now that's where you told us this. i assume it was about half past five. or so and. we got up on some coffee and then there was yoga which was very nice of peacefulness first lots of the same scrutiny treasonist very pretty. and then we went back to. the village villages we'll have breakfast together and it's kind of all eggs and going all the natural stuff and then we have a bonding thing where we come to create a den you know it's like being six years old again there was an old top hole and there's an old sheet christmas tree their. oil white reflection tied very height. as well can.

they when you go in. hibernating for the council that the lunch time they. don't pull way off the fairway great. seats. and then all of sudden athletes. they decided that we were going to sing songs of course you know this is very important we have to replace every single limerick it's a out so you know it's solid surreal. and it was a real contrast last night you know last night after all sitting around the room i was thinking what the hell is going on here where i'm like these people like you

were raised today it's like you just arrived in the form. so this is like a real temperature and it's quite emotionally draining but it's also you know this feels very rewarding order so far. at the camp were provided with lots of creative activities presumably to keep us distracted from our devices and maybe to fill the void left over by hunting and also. to remind us how reliant we've become all technology there are all the other logs. you now have to use human powered search engine this wouldn't inbox a disposable camera and of course we have to use a typewriter if we actually want to write anything i decided that i was going to write a diary or a journal as the color and there's an area just over that way which is called the typewriter range which is a converted shooting range there's just a bank of eight or ten so my brother's. all modern technology here isn't

that. he would have walked past this in an office back home you say you wouldn't notice it but actually a really beautiful piece of machinery you know i mean it really frustrating because every time you slightly catch out of that or two of them pop up together they get stuck in your stocking to pull back getting close. to make she paused. for a second or two and it breaks the concentration and then finally stop drifting off your things. which. you wouldn't do if you said you were locked up because you just could be a star focused but still we all find ourselves well i i know i'm not alone in this pulling off and out of pockets i just checked in the anyway one of the three not there but we do it so that's why it's so kind of hope that somebody tried to get contact with us. people have been talking about this on some vibration

think where they are imagining their phones are in their pockets vibrating which sounded kind of weird. and a bit farfetched but it happened to me three times yesterday i had my disposable camera in my pocket you know there's no there's no. power in that at all it's completely mechanical. and i actually did feel vibrations in my pocket and i missed him then realised what we're doing nothing in there off my camera. but it was it wasn't what it was a mental thing i actually felt it so. the disposable cameras vibrate and. probably not maybe crazy. but you know this is what going crazy feels like that quite have to go creating it's really nice.

people are grounded to escape being interviewed for television is definitely not on their agenda but two of my companies and lego have agreed to appear on camera. we find that you saw as full of it it was like the problem was it was a real issue part of it is that i didn't long ways of being in the moments you know might you know facebook and why i used to be and i got off about three years ago and part of there was i find myself i found myself always finding a moment to share and realizing i actually didn't enjoy the moment it was more about i got these trees how can i show this movie with other people as opposed to me just enjoying the tree enjoying the scenery and so i found that to be a problem i found myself never really being in the moment always trying to have other people here with me here they were never there you know we'd be at the dinner table i might go to lunch with three or four coworkers and you know what we're

saying now you're always texting we're talking to work and to put it down first i'd get upset because our g.'s i mean do what i need to do within a sort of realizing that when i sort of seen other people that i understood. why i was so bothersome you know because it was like what is it what is it that's so important out there that i took the time to sit down with you then you have to do something else and i realize that that's what i was doing as i why can i be take just half an hour with this person. who treats you story reminds me of the life i'm trying to leave behind i'm just not so departing in a day or so and come to mind i'm like you and i consider. you know and you didn't accept my life's. so you and i both we have right we go have another conversation our friends and we're both really trying to engage and they're checking our phone the whole time we're going to say to me so annoying right how how i think about like that like what's that going to be like am i going to say

something i'm going to be like. but got away for a little bit can we have half an hour like how am i going to deal with that because you know i think about that if i'm going to put energy. into this conversation exactly what he'll in the right eye contact how long i'm looking into right now. right with no with the limited or no distraction when has that ever happened outside of here right because someone will break it break and probably because of a phone yeah yeah interesting my my mom died last year i lost my sorry thank you i had never. thought about it and so you just mentioned it and but she was ill for a long time and she was. especially me that was sponsored by a group and that became her bedroom. ice that she got when i go home to say. and she'd be talking to me and i'd be on my phone. she was trying to

engage me in conversation and i was just you know. everything away treating some people who i don't even remember who they were yeah yeah so. the quiet seclusion of the forest is giving me the time and space i need for reflection. and before our evening meal all of us are being encouraged to go back to our villages get changed into white clothing and take time to pause to reflect and super pac. wants because it was the summer solstice it was the longest eighty years so there's going to be some soul sustainer. we reach hundreds of just for a small brown envelope the envelope inside it some just

a small piece of paper talking about how fears and things that hold you back. about it there's a small pencil in there it's such an everyone should want the bone fear that one thing we feel. is fear all regrets because we haven't done it tonight. the big bell rang. and everybody like zombies just started to turn around to the trucks sort of walking towards the towards the main area so this kind of gently moving cue which was leading towards a big bonfire had been set up people were going in there and they were they were throwing the find. the fun forts the there with rites the fears the things that they were told that they should get rid of.

me out of sight into the a long table in a fog type of thing sets outside it was obsolete you said it was to some music going on the use of chanting but everybody was asked to eat the food inside. you told you the reason for this you. know it sounds a bit crazy might be watching this thing through what is sealed about but it's actually worse you know i unfold my napkin i am i supposed to as it unfolded and thought you know what we would do this and soaps look at the patterns on it and then came to see eating the food you know i don't see really quickly told me. it's really slowly i was thinking i'm really enjoying toast this is a really nice this is a pretty nice meal actually. i did in the house in church it for some of the time some of this time it felt i felt a little bit cultish you know like this was some kind of weird religious cult if

you've ever seen. the seventy's maybe the will come out if you know all these kind of weird people just walking around and then there's this kind of big battle be wrong of this people trying things on fire no one's talking. or saying this is some kind of science some going to happen it's news of the supply chain it pops in a minute. but so i thought about the things that i put in that regrets. it was like it was and sounds really silly you know you might watch this and think he's going crazy he's become assimilated there has been affected by this group mentality this cult thing but you know of course i know what it was and it's something that i have always regretted but. i don't regret it anymore because it's gone now it's gone and it's prostitutes or if i feel like it's left me.

it is really amazing. that a bunch of strangers. get weird and feel normal that. way. you know this kind of whole weekend is gone so slowly right it's. just feels like it's lasted forever and there's been this kind of clock ticking towards the last day and. the people who are. you know sort of dreading the end of experience everybody has had just the most amazing some time. and. this has been just a completely. incredible incredible experience almost incredible experience of my entire life this place you know i don't see the lightning because my right here hated it actually hate it for the last year a few hours. and i was kind of thinking you know i. kind of

feel changed. it's weird but i don't know i just. i feel like i don't want to have this thing. is there all the time anymore this device that kind of ruled my life. in so many ways diversities was insignificant things that really matter. i feel so much more optimistic. i feel like a very different person. i i thought. two months have passed and now i am back in london campground it seems a world away a lifetime ago. i had every good intention of starting over but it began with

a text then an email i didn't have a choice i have a job that requires me to be connected maybe that looks like an excuse that's what products do right they try to validate their behavior but there is some truth in it there's always some truth in it. it's hard to give up something you like doing and for me that is being connected and not wanting to miss out on things again i am back to where i started i'm as addictive as i ever was maybe my friends were right you know somebody once told me that for an addict to really recover they have to state their name and they have to stay there affliction maybe i should try that. my name's full of l. and i am an addict. in
