# The last time I was without a cell phone for a long time, it was for about 6 months or more, the truth, I do not remember exactly how long it was, I will not deny that at the time that the phone I had a Samsung Galaxy 3 turned off, I thought it was the battery, but no, the phone had simply died, the first few days was horrible then I enjoyed peace. So the answer to whether I could live a weekend without my cell phone is yes, the first few hours I know I would feel a little weird, but for some time now and thanks to that and other experiences, I learned that it is very good, healthy and even safe not to be like a zombie in front of the cell phone. ![IMG_20231209_225551_944.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/actioncats/AJmnjytwuUcQTVF4EgbAPcsDkaJXn4j8LxNYvKT6w5fh8cBuC6YZLdNgJ9m7gwB.jpg) Now, there is no denying that the cell phone is a useful tool, that before it was a luxury, now it is a necessity, but this equipment has become an obsession and even an addiction for many, reaching the point of not being aware of what is happening around them and with this I mean potential dangers, I have seen people suffer accidents when they do not see where they are walking. On the other hand, I know that I could live a weekend without my phone, since, for a while now, I try to have my moments away from the cell phone to concentrate on what I do, if I am cleaning I practically forget it and if I go to sleep I turn it off and leave it away from me and if I am on the street I try to be aware of my surroundings, whether it is the traffic, those around me and so many other things that can happen. ![Snapchat-824427674_1.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/actioncats/23ywwhKcAwjnnY4gHrUx3XtAM6y9dcjLgu3VSoHFZZxXSrVkBrZbtMNUuPRKbh1W9w447.jpg) I think a weekend without a cell phone would be great, forgetting to be watching or looking if someone wrote me as if the phone does not get a notification when that happens or to spend, I don't even know how many minutes watching, in short, stupid things on Tiktok, that while it is true they make me laugh, they also make me waste my time. And not to mention how they separate families, because there is no time for quality conversations or you can not leave the phone aside for a while when you go to eat or do some family activity, I live it with my son and husband. ![IMG-20231209-WA0047.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/actioncats/AK9KKpNvVgHRXi6cHnxM12pkD8G1cERmsiPudt4WfKrRypomYRvYmhTh9aMKgPC.jpg) So a weekend at the beach or the mountains in the company of the family and that they do not have their cell phone either, it would be great, I imagine myself with them playing ludo, monopoly or some other, talking, taking a bath at the beach or doing any activity together without anyone being in the moon, distracted with the cell phone, the only drawback I see would be the photos, but that would be solved by taking a conventional camera and that's it. Finishing, I think that without a doubt I could spend a weekend without my phone, without going into crisis and feeling like I'm dying, I think that from time to time we should all do it, I say goodbye leaving my participation in [Weekend-Engagement #183]( https://peakd.com/hive-168869/@galenkp/weekend-engagement-topics-week-183)
