The biggest part of overcoming addictions is replacing them and the time they take with something else. If you don't mind sharing, what are you and your family doing instead?
- ARandomerDude 8y agoWe weren't intentional about replacing TV with something specific, so there are several things that cumulatively fill the void. We play, read, volunteer at the Salvation Army, I'm taking a couple classes at a local university, etc. I don't bring it up to brag or say "hey be like me." Rather, as you pointed out, it seems like TV is an addiction for most folks. As the article highlights, it often has a negative impact on mood, thoughts etc. One day we just realized we were, in a sense, slaves to the box and dumped it. Never looked back.
