On social media + addiction

Social media is a slippery slope for people who hold hands with addiction. I could get into all of the science about dopamine, but I have nothing to prove here and I know, that you know what I’m saying is true. It’s designed to be addictive. So if you're doomscrolling and finding yourself numbing out - guess what? You're using the app exactly how it's intended to be used. You're not weak and there's nothing wrong with you. For us in the sobriety world, we know that's how alcohol works too. It's an addictive medium...so if you become addicted, well, yeah...you're using it as designed.
