Doom scroll issues

Every morning I would wake up 2pm sharp in the afternoon and doom scroll until 6pm, then I would finally get up and start my day with a big bowl of sweet savory Cap’n Crunch cereal! Then I would continue to doom scroll until 3am with a 2 liter full sugar coke next to me so I can sip on it while scrolling. Once it hits 3am I finally settle down for the night and get tucked in to doom scroll again, but this time not on TikTok but on Instagram reel, ahh my favorite! I’ve had this problem until I found this insane app called “Boot Up Focus” by Eli Guzzone! This app has genuinely saved my life I finally have a job, I found a girlfriend, I go to the gym everyday now, my body is 10x better than it was. I suggest everyone downloads this app it has genuinely turned my life around for the better. Thank you Eli Guzzone, for saving me. 🥹
