Night Scrolling and a Plan to Distance the Phone
This page summarizes a community-reported personal experience. It is not medical evidence or professional advice.
A community member connected a late-night relapse to phone scrolling and set a concrete plan to keep the phone out of reach at night. Late-night phone use appears repeatedly in relapse reports — enough to form a community pattern. Physical distance from the device is one of the simplest reported countermeasures.
