TV is the biggest mind-suck. Sure, it's partly my fault for allowing myself to be distracted etc., but it's no help that TV specifically has been purposefully designed to be the easiest and biggest distraction on the planet.
I was a coke addict, sure it was my own fault for getting into it, for enabling my own unhealthy habit. But it wasn't enough just to "stop blowing coke." I had to sever relationships with bad influences, I had to "throw coke out the window."
With that in mind, I'm going to of chuck my TV out the window, and despite what you might argue, I'm not just lying to myself. I'm improving my life.
It sounds like you have addiction problems, and I'm not saying that out of cruelty. But if you find yourself in several similar addiction patterns, perhaps it's time to take a deeper look at what's missing, else something else will creep in to fill the void.
Whoops I meant to delete this since it's a double-comment. I actually dont do coke, it was an example in which i used first-person to make it more meaningful
