I just chose the prompt, A post exactly in 12 sentences.

It has not even been a week since I took on the challenge of unplugging myself, which has not been an easy task. I have had a severe sore throat and cough all week long, and Wednesday and Thursday were the hardest. I was on the sofa all Wednesday evening and most of Thursday morning watching TV, but ended up scrolling through my phone. Was I connecting with friends? No, I was just scrolling through food reviews and saree shop reviews. I am not going to eat in all those restaurants or buy any of those silk sarees. I plan to put my phone on airplane mode for a couple of hours tomorrow and try to resist temptation. I did it in the temple once, and it worked for those few hours. Anyhow, my cough and sinus pain have come down, and I did move on to other activities by Thursday evening. My son has severe OCD, and I truly understand his hardship right now. I am going to take this challenge to heart and start implementing it seriously. If you want, you too can join me in this challenge, and we can support each other.
