Something I am seriously considering is getting rid of my Iphone. I don't think I am mature enough to have one and it's only gotten me into trouble. I am thinking of getting a good old fashioned land line phone wit answering machine, and a prepaid cell phone for emergency/travel use.

She is the main name on the cell phone account, so she would know if I cancelled my plan. I think this would be a demonstrable action to show my change. I am doing it for me though, as I feel I have an unhealthy attachment to my phone. I look at it even when talking to peers or co-workers, sending the message they aren't important. The phone in my mind is a contstant reminder of what happened, and since I haven't changed my number since the incident, I think this would help put her mind at ease a bit that I'm no longer doing anything of that sort. And I haven't done anything of that sort since sobering up.

I think I would phrase it as- I have decided to liberate myself from being attached to my cell phone! I am going to get a landline so if you need to get a hold of me here is my new number. This way it keeps that change as positive.

Thoughts?
