I really admire you for recognizing the problem and shutting it down. Did you completely delete your account, or just deactivate it?

I have an account but I often forget to check in for several days. I get real-life friends who ask why I didn't respond to their such-and-such post/photo/video link, and it's just because I never saw it.

I keep up with a few real friends via FB, and family, but the rest is all pretty much just interesting chatter among professional contacts similar to what I'd hear at a conference, so it's fun and informative, usually, but nothing I need to check on every day.

I have addiction issues in my family, too, so I don't drink, have never done drugs. I'm glad technology isn't one of my personal demons. (Food is challenging enough.)
