Facebook Anonymous: A Tale of Addiction
Candace Crush started out as a casual Facebook user. It wasn’t long before she became a full-blown addict. “I craved the likes. Then I needed the likes. Then I couldn’t get enough of the likes.”
What she didn’t realize was that the likes were triggering releases of dopamine in her brain. “I posted more and more pictures. However, no matter how many people liked a picture, it was never enough. I wanted the same high that I felt the first time one of my photos became popular. The harder I tried to get that buzz, the further away it seemed to be.”
Facebook Anonymous is the comical, and occasionally harrowing, story of one young woman’s descent into Facebook addiction. Candace Crush is on the verge of losing her job and her family. She stays logged in even while driving. After plowing into a salon at a strip mall, she is still in denial that she has a problem.
It’s her third offense for texting while driving, making her a habitual offender. Judge Killjoy gives her a difficult choice. Candace Crush can either lose her driver’s license or go to Facebook Anonymous.

A short book that was free for Kindle! I picked it up, expecting a good laugh or two and wasn't disappointed. This woman is totally obsessed! Definitely recommended. You may be or know this person, as there are a lot of people who can't seem to live without Facebook. If so, there is a 12 step group for you! Lots of fun!
