Am I an addict?

That's it. I've had enough of it. I can't stand it any more.

I can't get away from it, it's driving me mad.

I don't want to like it, I wish I hated it. I don't even know if I really like it.

Some (lucky) people have never encountered it, others (even luckier) don't ever want to.

I did and I'm regretting it.

What is it?

Facebook.

Once you step over to the dark side and get an account that's it. It's got you.

I've never had an addictive personality... I can cut a slice of chocolate cake and put the rest back into the fridge for tomorrow. I can pour a glass of wine and save the rest. I can even, and this is serious proof, I can even resist buying amazing shoes because I don't need them (sick I know, some serious willpower comes into play here).

But when it comes to Facebook, I'm a sucker. To test my resolve, I really tried to ignore it the other day. I promised myself I wouldn't go near it for three days (until Monday). Then, on Saturday morning, my phone flashed with 5 emails - all from old friends contacting me via Facebook.

"Don't do it!" my inner voice screamed "Leave it until Monday, you've not heard from them in ten years, what does three days matter, it'll wait!"... but no, I couldn't. I had to read their messages, I had to know... so I logged on, on a Saturday morning.

Give me strength.

Does anyone have a cure?
