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.

I've been Facebook sober since December 2015.

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...

Facebook's a helluva drug.
