Hello, I want to welcome you to recovery. Realizing you have a problem is an important step. It is also very good to recognize your habits. These become rituals over time and they are the spark that leads to acting out. I suggest moving your phone to another room. If you use it for an alarm clock, get an alarm clock to put next to your bed. If you have trouble sleeping, which I sometimes do, there is no shame in taking a sleep aid but they could become addictive. It is important to remind yourself that when you slip up, you are NOT starting over. The Devil cannot take away from you what progress or knowledge you have gained thus far. Learn from your mistakes and make one victory at a time.
