Hello, my name is Christie and I am an addict....

I am a Facebook addict. It started as a once every other day thing. Just something to do to keep in touch with my cousins and sisters. Very innocent and social, but slowly I found that I had to log on once a day to take care of my Pet Pupz, dog that I adopted. Her name was Gus and she was a bulldog. She depended on me to feed and take care of her every day and in return I got points to buy her more imaginary stuff. I couldn't go a day without logging in to take care of her. Then someone invited me to try....*gulp* Bowling Buddies. I found myself spending an hour trying to beat my sister, Stacie's score. I would get a great score and Stacie would get a better one. Then it was "Word Challenge" and "Who Has The Biggest Brain". I couldn't stop I was hooked. I was logging in 4 or 5 times a day. Then just playing the games wasn't enough. I began sending invites. Inviting people to save the oceans, rainforests, ozone, etc...anything to play more games. That is when it started....I began being rejected. My family and friends stopped accepting my invites. They stopped returning my comments, they stopped suggesting friends for me. One of my friends even asked that I stop sending him invites. That was when I new I had a real problem.
I am unable to cut it off cold turkey but I do manage my addiction by allowing myself small amounts of Facebook time. I connect with friends, play my games and send invites in moderation. I dropped a lot of the games that I was playing, my puppy is probably dead. My husband has been very supportive in my addiction and I choose my friends very carefully. Don't let this happen to you....WHAT THE....Stacie just beat my frickin' high score in GEO CHALLENGE!?!?! Oh I'll show her....
Don't judge me. :)
