- pier25 8y ago(I'm not the author of the parent comment) I once made a 14 days Vipassana silent retreat. Nothing but meditation, eating, and sleeping. Obviously no phones or anything that could distract you from the purpose was allowed (books, conversations, etc). I'm the biggest information junkie, and I had no troubles letting go. When I came back into the real world the habit grew progressively again. TL;DR: No withdrawal symptoms.
- toyg 8y agoI feel slightly nervous the first day or two when I go on holiday in places where I have to disconnect. After that, it’s fine. As soon as I manage to get hold of a phone or newspaper i can read, though, it’s back in the tunnel.
- jryan49 8y agoWhenever I'm severed from the internet or news there is no withdraw symptoms what-so-ever. I don't even think twice about it. It's strange.
