I am addicted to dopamine.

My phone is one of the less harmful sources of a dopamine feedback loop.

Working with my therapist to get a hold on that.

I’m addicted to having something to do, the phone is the most obvious thing to look at when I don’t have anything else to do, but I never look at my phone when e.g. driving except for purposes of navigation or music control.

I’m addicted to the internet

The phone is just one of many ways to get to it.

It’s like saying a drunkard is addicted to “the bottle”. They aren’t. They are addicted to alcohol.

Unlikely. I often forget it exists. If I didn’t think about a friend or relative wanting to send a message, I’d probably leave it on a table or something until I need to take a picture or note or look something up. And then it would probably be out of battery.
