Just admit your part of a cult and you will have the first step to recovery.

And I did pick my position damn near 20 years ago at this point. I had a couple of old school ipods but my first "smart phone" was a blackberry, my second was also a blackberry and then I moved to android with a phone sized tablet that only had wifi and they nexus after that. I've flashed more roms, backed up and restored more data, etc than you have had friends.

You have a nice day now and I will add you to the block list as well.
