Welcome to Facebook-aholics Anonymous.

Good afternoon. My name is Laura. And I, too, am a recovering Facebook-aholic.

I am happy to report that I have gone one whole MONTH without even touching Facebook (except for one teensy second to change my profile picture... cause I'm vain like that BUT it doesn't count because I didn't look at anything besides my own page). And the effects are as follows:

  • Much more free time, which I have put to good use exercising, reading, hangin' wid mah besties, doing crossword puzzles (one a day keeps the Alzheimer's away), and playing the piano
  • Much less time spent dwelling on You-Know-Who, probably as a result of no longer seeing his name and pictures everywhere
  • Much more smiling

So there ya go, folks. Seems like it might be a good idea for some of you other Facebook addicts out there... ;) Ha. I just think it's worth it. Especially because I still get e-mails if there's an event I need to know about or if someone is trying to contact me! Which is just perfect. That way, I stay informed while never having to come anywhere near the plague that is social networking. Huzzah for being sober!



{P.S.}
I really despise Facebook, by the way. Just in case you all were wondering. I seriously can't stand all the ridiculous things people will do on there to get attention. And I'm not saying I'm blameless, because I have definitely made my fair share of attention-craving remarks on the old FB. But with some people it's just so unbearably blatant that with every single thing they write and every single picture they post, they are seeking solely for as many likes as possible. And that drives me absolutely bonkers.
