Since I have been given the gift of sobriety, I have stopped watching TV, listening to music and leaving the radio on for more than the news (NPR only).
If someone around me wants to do these things I don't try to stop them as it is not like an obsession with me. I simply enjoy more quiet-time for prayer & meditation.
(There is an old Buddhist saying)
"A man should measure his wealth by that which he does not need".
