IDEA: Restate the 5th precept on alcohol as a prohibition on addictive behaviors. Alcohol was just the most common problematic addictive behavior.
Recently, I've been trying to do something about technological addictive behaviors- social media, youtube, or in my family- gaming (which nowadays often is full of gambling & addictive behavior features)
Self-replies
But I'm using social media now! Yeah, unlike alcohol, some addictive behaviors you have to engage in them a little, but not so much that they spiral out of control.
For better or worse, at the moment, I can't get rid of my cell phone altogether, nor my computer, nor stop watching all video. Too many work related things that call for each of those.
