(Minghui.org) I live alone and am nearly 70 years old. I set up a materials production site at my home, providing truth-clarification materials for myself and other practitioners in our Fa-study group. I get up to exercise at 3:50 a.m. every day, study a lecture from Zhuan Falun, and then study other lectures. Sometimes I go out walking to talk to people about Falun Dafa. I am busy all day long, every day, and I am happy and healthy.

My son purchased a new smartphone, and gave me his old one. It was an impressive phone with many functions. I learned how to use WeChat and used it to chat online with my children and grandchildren.

I even joined in some public forums on WeChat and forwarded some good articles to members of my family. Over time I was spending more and more time on the phone and less time out clarifying the truth.

Soon after, my stomach started to bother me and I began to vomit. I felt weak and had to lay down for a while. That night I slept heavily and the following morning I was still weak and had no appetite. I cleaned up the house a bit and then went out. I bought a bowl of porridge, but could only eat half of it. On my way home, I passed out.

I was taken to a small clinic nearby by someone who found me. Since I knew my son would take me to a larger hospital, I didn’t tell any of the hospital staff how to contact him. I wanted to leave. The doctor said I was not well enough and wanted me to stay for treatment.

I said to Master in my heart: “Master, I am a Dafa disciple. I do not need a hospital. I need to go home.”

When the doctor left the room, I got up and left the hospital.

I walked home and went to my bed to rest. As I drifted off to sleep, I heard a faint voice tell me that it would cover me with a quilt. When I woke up, I was surprised to find I was covered with the quilt from my couch.

I had completely recovered. I knew I had to look within for the reason for incident. I realized it was because I had become addicted to my cell phone.

I shared my experience with fellow practitioners and studied some of Master's recent articles. I realized how dangerous it was for a practitioner to spend so much time playing on a cell phone.

Sometimes when I see my phone I still get the urge to spend time on it. But I stay alert to this addiction and resist the temptation. I send forth righteous thoughts to eradicate this attachment.

I hope other practitioners will learn from my experience.
