Facebook addiction is like cocaine - Buck - 02-22-2016
I know several people who fit this description. As for myself, I'm only addicted to this forum.

If you're a person who continuously scrolls on your Facebook timeline, your brain reacts in a similar way to people who use cocaine, a new study reports. Other studies compare brain functions of those who obsessively use the Internet to brain changes that are seen in alcoholics and gamblers.
Study examines 'addiction-like symptoms such as anxiety, withdrawal and conflict'
In a study published in "Psychological Reports: Disability and Trauma," undergraduate students at California State University completed a questionnaire to assess how addicted they are to Facebook. The questionnaire examined addiction-like symptoms such as anxiety, withdrawal and conflict. A separate test required the students to respond to a series of images, some random and some related to Facebook.

Just say no. It worked in the beginning and still works today.

People say that MR Forum is a gateway forum, but I've managed to stay away from FB without any problem.

I've never used cocaine, but I imagine it is like a thousand times better than Facebook...
