12 Steps to Quitting Facebook

Marla Miniano | Published: Nov 20, 2009 - 8:00am

7. Stop checking Facebook on your phone.
Just because you receive the watered down mobile version doesn't mean it's any less destructive.

8. Stop checking Facebook at work.
We think this is pretty much self-explanatory.

9. Change your password.
Ask a trustworthy friend (emphasis on "trustworthy") to change your password and keep the new one secret. That way, you can only access Facebook when she's around to log on for you–and depending on her location, you'd be dyahe to ask her to do this all the time. (Note to trustworthy friend: You may or may not get strangled in the withdrawal process. You have been warned.)
