Still Addicted to Facebook

I'm still addicted to Facebook.

I had to put that out there. I know I've mentioned it in the past and I've even done a post about breaking my addiction. Do you want to know how long that lasted? A day. That's right, a whole flipping day. Maybe not even that much.

I can't seem to go more than a few hours without checking my news feed and it seems like everything around me is enabling my addiction. I've contemplated just deleting my account, but EVERYTHING is linked to Facebook. Many many sites use it as the log-in, so if I delete Facebook, how will I access those other sites? I can do regular email sign-ins, but I don't have that set up on anything.

So, for now, Facebook stays. I just can't figure out how to break my habit of obsessively looking at the newsfeed and checking the yard sale pages. I know that 99% of the posts are garbage. I know I'm too broke to buy other people's stuff. I know there are a million other things I could be doing. But I'm not. I'm checking the newsfeed worrying about missing out on something awesome.

And what about when I'm not at home? I have Facebook on my smartphone. I know I should delete it, but sometimes when I'm nursing my son, it's a nice distraction for me while he falls asleep. I don't watch TV, and I'm not currently in love with the book I'm reading, but I'm too stubborn to quit it, so what else is there to do?

Does anyone want to quit Facebook with me? We can form a support group and check-in with one another to break our addictions. I know I can't do it alone!
