Scrolling addict here. For me it is not the phone that is addictive: I hate notifications, and I even hate more being called (and calling myself). I do this with my mom, and I keep the possibility for others to call me because of emergencies (being a dad, all that).
But I am very addicted to scrolling. And listening to stuff, music, talking shows and podcasts, etc, when I don't have to interact with people IRL. It is a real problem. I Found that I can spend almost an entire day wearing headphones…

When I don't listen to music or to podcasts, youtube shows (generally political stuff, so no need to see the image), I put noises, like birds or rain sounds on my headphones.
