Hi! My name is Angela and I'm a recovered Facebook addict! I started my online networking with My Space. It seemed like overnight my friends changed over to Facebook. Of course I followed and found it to be better than My Space. to this is where the addiction started. All of my high school classmates joined. Facebook made it so easy to keep up with what everyone was doing. It was like we were back in high school again. Some I hadn't talked to since graduation. It was fun seeing how people turned out after high school.
Then I started playing Farm Town. Farm town was a competition to see who could make the most money and set up the biggest farm. I was in competition with my husband who at the time was laid off so he farmed all day while I was at work. I would spend my evenings farming to keep up. It was impossible! I even hired my son to farm for me while I fixed supper. Then one day I opened my eyes and looked around my house and realized it was a mess! I spent alomst two hours a night on Facebook and my house was suffering. My addiction had taken control. I had to quit cold turkey. I'm happy to report I have been Farm Town free for the last eight months!

Good to see you have conquered your addiction. Probably one of the many reasons that I refuse to join Facebook is for just the reason that you describe. I’m afraid that it could become addictive. Checking up on friends, reading about who is doing what, or simply playing games. I use a computer for work and school. I have enough problems keeping up with all my projects and other time sucking hobbies to start something that could capture my focus.
