12 Everyday Things You Didn’t Know You Could Get Addicted To

You can't quit it, can you? You keep it with you all the time and check it every few minutes. You work too much because you can't turn it off on the weekend. You ignore the people you're having dinner with to catch a text or a post from someone miles away. Get help from a doctor, counselor or other professional if your phone is getting in the way of your life.If you’ve taken up to three selfies today, consider yourself nuts.
