Let me just divide the scenario based on 2 kinds of people.
The 1st kind of people who use social media just to maintain the relationships but are not addicted to it. In this case these people can easily live without the social media because they are more into the real world.
The 2nd kind of people who got addicted to the social media but still if we take away the social media from them they will find a way to survive and they may become more goal oriented after realising how the social media is killing their valuable time and deviating them from their goals . They will realise that being in the realistic world is more important and getting socialized with the pepole is actual way to maintain a good relationship and living in the moment is more important than anything
In either of the cases one can live without the social media but it will take some more time for people to realise who got addidicted to it. Self realisation is the most important thing for a person to get out of it until then no deaddiction center works.Of course it is useful to maintain the long distance relationships but one has to make sure that social media should not control their life and deviate them from achieving their goals i.e. they have to realise that not using social media will not make them unhealthy,they can still live without the social media,they have to use it only if it is benificiary in terms of any knowledge gaining and maintaining some relationships.
