How to quit Facebook
It made me
relieved
 "Having just been through a breakup, having these online profiles just adds a whole new level of baggage to deal with so deleting my profile was a way for me to move on."
How I did it: Easy, i went into the account settings and deactivated the profile. If I ever decide to go back - once i'm a little more clear headed and less depressed - all my info will still be up there if i want to reactivate. But for now, this is the right decision. These social networking sites add a whole new level of dementia when you're dealing with the end of a relationship.

How I did it: I changed every details on my profile from my email address to my name to my alias and filled it with gibberish from this site and this site. After I made sure I had erased all erasable footprints of my account I deleted the account permenently. I then sent a message to all my friends telling them that I'm quitting. I then handed over the admin rights of a group I had started to a friend.Note that this is different from deactivating your … Read how I did it…
kinorkahol will be ok!
Quitting Facebook was really about quitting spending any unnecessary time on Facebook. I could cut down on the time I use it, but it hasn’t been a problem lately. I have so much other work to do.

For completion’s sake, I went back on Facebook, but, having used the notifications feature on it (and having deleted all my new wall posts), I use it much less. I do need it to look at events, etc. I’m hoping to use it even less once I get my classes all settled.

nothing bad happened to me on FB, i just realised that it was a waste of time, when i could be hanging out or actually talking to friends for real.
Quit about 5 months ago and I’ve stayed clean ever since. It had a ridiculously disgusting hold over me, and I’m SO glad I’m over it. I still get urges, but I fight them.
Every once in a while I need a picture (like for 43Things) and I go on, accept all my friend requests, and check out the pics, that’s all, I don’t even check my wall, I’m pretty proud, especially since almost every person I know is FINALLY on there. Who really needs 600 cyber friends anyway? So glad I kicked it!!
Oh and I have so much more FREE time!! Yay me!

This is probably the best thing I have done this year.
What shocks me is that my best friend from high school, who is in another country right now, doesn’t “contact” me as often as she did before. Sure, before, these bits of Facebook-based communication consisted of “Hey! How are you? Hope your week is great!” but it wouldn’t kill to add three more sentences and keep in touch via e-mail. :(
Nevertheless, I don’t regret doing this. It shows me how thoroughly (or not) people are connected with me.

Last night I deleted my photo album. Yay! One more step towards cleaning my Facebook profile and kicking the habit.

Just when I am forgetting facebook, the most idiotic messages are being sent to me to bring me back. I am trying to quit people!

I cleaned up my profile (hiding my wall etc) and requesting emails not be sent to me when certain actions are executed. I requested a name change (see building my personal brand). Now all I have to do is stay away.
