My Phone Addiction is Real and It’s a Problem

The first Friday in March is supposed to be a day of national unplugging. I can't put my phone down and I'm guessing that the majority of the country can't either.

Are you addicted to your phone? Many people are and they don't even know it. The statistics behind a cell phone addiction are quite alarming.

According to Psych Guides, almost 50% of Americans admit that they probably couldn't go one day without their cell pone.

Here are some common signs that you have a phone addiciton:
