My facebook addiction runs in a slightly different manner. Instead of checking my facebook a couple of thousand times a day, I find myself on my 'homepage', clicking the refresh button, waiting for a new notification.
Jesus, it's a wonder that I'm so disappointed when I get a notification that's something boring (like a group looking for new members or an invite to some crappy application). You'd think I'd be glad to have SOMETHING new in my notifications, but I guess that's not the way an addiction works..

I wrote about it on a blog, read it if your interested.

Its a great site, but I think for some people, it can be like a drug.

Great Article!

God, where do you all quit.

May I suggest a topic or two? "How to Stop That Addiction To Writing About Foolishness" or "Top Ten Signs You’re Addicted To Writing Garbage"

I find it interesting that society tends to label something as an addiction if we do "too much" of it... according to whom? I was wrangling with this very dilemma when my coach asked me how much joy I was experiencing on a scale of 1-10.

My response is that I'm always an 8, often 9-10 in my life overall. "So what's the problem?" he said!! Yeah, exactly! LOL. If other areas of life are suffering, granted the 'addiction' might need to be addressed.

The other week, I wrote a tongue-in-cheek guide: "Top Ten Signs You’re Addicted To Facebook"

Helpful tactics, maybe I should have looked at them: I took a one-week vacation from Facebook and wrote about the as-they-happened results (http://alexpollack.blogspot.com/2007/09/breakin...)

Now, to be honest, I'm back, logging-in...alot. But I still learned a few lessons, and became closer to my "real" friends during my Facebook fast.

I suffered from a service interruption for more than 5 hours this morning, I almost killed myself. I'm not even addicted, I can quit when I want. To check my myspace for example !
