I know exactly how you feel! I hate to say this but I think facebook has really been a bad thing for society in someways

I so agree with you! I joined so I could keep up with my relatives that live far away. I could see family pictures, etc.

Now - it is filled with ignorant political posts. (They don't check their facts first, just hit share and share these stupid things - true or not)

Plus, I just had to watch a play by play between my nephew and his nephew (my great nephew). My nephew giving him a hard time because he didn't invite his parents to his housewarming. Well, he didn't invite them because his Mom isn't talking to him! (My niece has not been very supportive of my great nephew). Anyway - this was really not the place for all this to be going on. So, of course my ex sister in law had to get in there and make her jabs too.

Sorry - but it just made my mad and upset. So, now I'm letting it go.

I know exactly how that goes! I have seen it over and over again. I have thought about deleting my facebook account and being done with it. Nothing good has come from it. My life won't end because I am not on facebook. Honestly. It might be a lot better.

I have thought about it. I only go on to check up on my nieces & nephews and other family. But, then I had to watch this whole thing unfold. I just need to close it & walk away. Which I did.
Actually, I posted on my wall
Some things just don't need to be played out on Facebook....

And then my ex sister in law had to comment "Thank you for the voice of wisdom

". I deleted her comment. It was just a jab at me.

I just now deleted myself from facebook world. I actually feel a lot better. From political posts to juvenile cat fights. I had enough. I am taking my life back. And actually live it. Wow I feel free!

I needed a 'Like' button. :H:H But, seriously.....that is really good. I'm going to keep mine so I can keep up with all the great nieces and nephews. But, I will learn to ignore the rest. I thought I was good at that but see I need some practice.

Good for you for getting rid of that negativity!!

There are some people whose posts irritate me (the ignorant political ones etc) but I like to keep them as FB friends so I can occasionally check to see if they're OK or to see their travel photos etc. So I just untick the 'show in news feed' box and nothing shows up unless I click on their name or they send me a msg.

I really can see why it's great to keep up with family on there. But it just got to be too much of a issue for my sanity. LOL. Not that I don't have those issues begin with. If there is something huge going on. My sister or sister in law will text me. I texted them I was done with it. So if it's something serious. They will let me know. Wow I feel so much better.

All I can say is this a great thread. With really nice and honest people. I know a lot of you on here know me. It's so great to just talk with others who understand our daily struggle. All of you picked me up today. Thank you!

So glad you are here FD. I have been feeling a little down in the dumps too. Been great to be able to talk here. It's so nice to have people that understand.

It's Day 18 here and ti's been hard to get myself in the right frame of mind to work on this. I'm going thru all the motions. But, can't say that I'm really committed. So, it is great to be able to be here and work on this together. :l:l

Were all going to make it. I beat myself with every relapse. 15 days free. And I had almost 10 months. We have to keep fighting this. We are going this war over AL.

It is a absolute life preserver to be able to come here and not only vent but get such loving, honest and useful feedback.

Even if it's just a hug, the connections we have here are profound and necessary...

A gourmet meal...100.00
A pair of Nikes... 150.00
MWO...Priceless... :l
