Mr Rhode Island Red Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 AS an attempt to stop using facebook because I spend too much time on it, I deactivated my account today. It isn't fully deleted, but it is deactivated so to the rest of my facebook friends, I have literally vanished off the the face of facebook It would be too much of a leap to go the full way and delete the account, but by deactivating it, at least I have made a start. Any other similar stories of addiction... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Potts Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Not on Facebook, but would checking Omlet more than once a day would be an addiction Did have a mobile/tv/pc/screen free weekend a few weeks ago (inspired by lillybettybabs - thank you for the inspiration).

Cinnamon Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 My name is Sarah & I am a Farmville addict I haven't played it for a very very long time,but like all true addictions I know it lurks just below the surface. Angry Birds was getting a bit scary too at one point,but I will never,never ever get rid of Facebook......it is far too useful,interesting & amusing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubababe Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Farmville & I'm not going to embarrass myself any more by admitting how long I play it EACH DAY!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I had to go cold turkey on Farmville - I too was spending embarrassing amounts of time each day on it (and when I started planning my life around when I needed to harvest, I knew it was getting out of hand ). I'm also addicted to FB Scrabble but that's educational so it's allowed . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't do Facebook, and I've no idea what Farmville is, but that made me chuckle! Crikey- that sounds seriously addictive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
