How long can you go without checking Facebook?

I'm just hoping I will get to the point that I won't get excited about it anymore to curb my addiction.

Good for you, my friend.

Sometimes, social networking sites tend to have effect that later we all might regret. I mean, at first, I can say that I was influenced with it but I'm glad that I was able to recover.

Thanks for your comment, jujunme. The more I read about comments like yours, the more I think that I should be really doing something else more valuable than my habitual and useless checking of Facebook. People like you have definitely enlightened me.

What a nice compliment and well appreciated, Thank you,

You're welcome. You deserve it.

Hi KrauseHome, I guess there's nothing wrong with spending much time on Facebook for as long as you're productive and it doesn't really affect your time management. If used the right way, I think Facebook is a good tool for purposes like promoting one's business, networking, etc.

Oftentimes I wish I had kept my Facebook for that purpose only: to communicate with my loved ones. But I have too many "friends" now, and around 100 pending requests. It's getting out of control.

That's actually a brilliant idea, and I'm considering doing it myself. Start anew. And this time, I will be very careful with the friends I let into my network. Thanks for your reply.

Oh, so we are on the same boat. But in my case, I guess it's too much already. I want to tone my addiction down, if possible.

Can't agree more. At least, surfing MyLot is more productive.

For me, I am playing games on Facebook and I am addicted to Facebook due to these games like farmville and mafia, but from last two weeks, I am not playing those games, they are not giving any thing to me, just wasting of time, the time which I spend in to play games on Facebook, is now directed to myLot and due to this I am getting new ideas and beside this it is giving me some money too... So I think instead of Facebook we should surf our time in some constructive sites like myLot Be happy and be the reason of happiness in others life...

Welcome to the club, mate!

You can say that again: too much drama. There was one point, actually, that I was tempted to deactivate my account, but I am living miles away from home now and it's the easiest way to communicate with family and friends.

How I'd love to be in your situation right now. The addiction is getting hold of me. But I really want to get rid of it, and not let it take up most of my time. You're right, MyLot is a better option.

How I wish I can stop myself from constantly checking Facebook. And I don't even do anything there. Just look at people's walls and browse their photos. Nothing productive, really. Sigh...

At least you have a good and productive reason to use Facebook all the time. It is for a good purpose.

You are lucky in that aspect then. You don't have to succumb to the addictive jaws of Facebook.

Thanks for not judging me, dearie. But I really have to do something about it. I am too hooked and I don't like it when I'm too obsessed with something.

Hehe! I like the enthusiasm, pokumon.

The thing is, I don't even play games there. All I do is, although I don't really want to admit this, is "stalking" my friends there.

Ah I can totally relate with your friend. And like her, I sometimes refuse to admit my addiction. But reading the comments here, I think I will have to lessen my Facebook obsession, if not stop it. Thanks for your comment, friend.

The more I read comments like yours, the more I think that it's no longer normal what I'm doing. I will now will myself to get off it for a week, and see how it goes. Thanks for your reply.

Thanks, that is very encouraging.

Well, i think it is normal to got addicted to facebook. But i don't think it will last long. I also at first, really addicted to facebook, but as time goes by, and with the increasing job and things to do, facebook start to become unimportant. You don;t need to not use it for a while since not use it will make you want to use it more and more. Just use it normally. Some day you will reach a bored point, where facebook seems not that interesting anymore.

My dear, I like it when you say you "get easily irritated". Hahaha! I am just like that. It's like not being able to eat when you're hungry.

Wow, I envy you. I wish I can do that. But at the rate I'm going, I guess even on a holiday in Tibet or Timbuktu, I would still find a way to check Facebook. How pathetic is that? I think I need professional help.

Oh that's great, Diddaka. I envy you. Keep it up.
