I ditched TV but then my phone and tablet have taken over. I am working towards reading more.

On the bright side, I no longer have the astronomical cable bill only a more manageable internet bill.

OP, there is nothing that forbids exerting self-control for the sake of a greater good outside of Lent. You can renounce things that are not bad for someone else (a) because you cannot enjoy the thing without becoming enslaved to it (that is, that you have an addictive relationship with the thing) or (b) because you have decided to make an even greater good a priority.

You’ve learned something about yourself. I’d suggest you carve out a time each day when you will not watch TV. Do something else during that time, something you believe would be more pleasing to God, if only because you are trying to achieve greater self-mastery. Do not be afraid that God will not give you the grace to do it, if you ask.
