Getting over phone addiction

I spend about 6-8 hours a day on my phone when I’m not at work (4 days/ 30 hours a week).

It’s at the point where I sit there on my phone and don’t do other things- sounds silly but I have adhd and fixate on texting friends/ scrolling on Instagram.

Anyway- has anyone else overcome phone addiction?

This is my current plan-

1) buy a cheap Nokia keypad phone for emergency phone calls: so I’d have family n friends numbers on it but never use social media.

2) only have social media on my laptop which I don’t use that much.

The only problem is that I love music and listen to Spotify a lot so not entirely sure…I have poor self control so if I bought another smartphone I’d probably end up downloading apps in a moment of weakness
