I manage to be very high functioning around it, working 50 hours per week, doing a calisthenics routine every couple days, writing thousands of words per month, but it still manages to suck way too much of my time and energy. And it compromises the efficiency of those other things in the process.
The hardest part is realizing that to go through withdrawal from it you have to spend long stretches every day literally doing nothing but just sitting in silence—for weeks on end until the brain reconstitutes itself. Feels like psychological planking when you've been used to 24/7 stimulation for so long.
If I catch myself doing it, I look at the clock and think about what I could've gotten done in that amount of time. I'm getting back into reading, and I'm trying to do that when the urge strikes.
