postsemgirl,
I agree with you 100%. As I said, I was never really in that situation and I (am not a pro. Don’t know why I am getting into this). that’s why maybe he should get rid of it a little at a time but whatever he does should be 100%.
Let me clarify. Let’s say, he decides to remove his radio from his car and he travels an hour a day, for that hour he might miss out on a specific update or whatever and it might kill him but eventually he’ll get used to it. Whatever. Maybe no radio motzei shabbos and he can make up an activity with his wife to do instead. the best would be if he could “appoint” someone to “check up” on him but he might not want to do that.
So i don’t mean he should suddenly stop cold turkey but he has to be strong about it.
