Im a 25-year-old graduate student who likes yoga, home-decorating shows and eating spoonfuls of peanut butter straight from the jar. Oh yeah, and Im an iPhone addict. I wasnt always an addict. In fact, for many years I told myself I didnt want a fancy cellphone. They seemed like too much work, always ringing and demanding attention. I was perfectly content with my simple cellphone, and I didnt feel like changing my mind any time. However, about a year ago, I found myself envious of all those iPhone owners, holding their shiny new phones and showing them off to all their friends. I started to conversations about iPhone apps, feeling like a tourist listening to a language I couldnt speak. Eventually I couldnt ignore my iPhone instinct（本能）any longer, and I weled my new iPhone into my life. I instantly fell in love with the little bundle of joy, and could no longer imagine a life without it. To my surprise, I suddenly found myself with a whole new circle of friendsother iPhone owners I could go to for advice and support as I learned the various functions of my new device. They responded to my iPhone-related questions when my other friends couldnt, and didnt roll their eyes when I pagged（吹牛）about all the things little Eloise (yes, I named her) could do. For a couple of months I built my new life with Eloise.

Or, even worse, what if a careless gym-goer knocked her out of my bag and caused her screen to crack? Once I admitted I had a problem, things started to change. What used to feel like friendly messages now felt like constant nagging to respond. I hated that I could no longer leave the house without Eloise in my hand. Eventually, I felt angry with Eloise so much that I wanted to throw her at the wall. I decided something had to be done. But, as I quickly realized, iPhones are like cigarettes and not easy to quit. Then, while taking the bus to work one day, I was unexpectedly forced to quitat least temporarily. When I reached into my purse to grab Eloise, I found her overe by fever. My head swam with panic as I attempted to solve the problem, but without result. I couldnt call anyone for advice. I couldnt Google whether this had happened to other iPhones. The Apple Store was closed by the time I finished work, so I headed home with dread into an Eloise-less night. But, after a couple of hours without any text alerts, push notifications, or even good old-fashioned phone calls, I felt . calmer. Without my electronic bed partner, I drifted off into the deepest sleep Id had in months. The next morning, I read the news from the simplicity of the newspaper, instead of from my iPhone.
