Gosh, that sounds an awfully lot like ending a nasty drug habit:

- Quit smoking.

- 1st week, light up a cigarette in a stressful situation, enjoy it...

- 2nd week, light up a cigarette and immediateley regret it...

- 3rd week, wonder why you still have this package of ciggis at home (and the inner schweinehund responding: they are for emergency situations, EMERGENCY IS NOW!!!)

- 4th week, throw away the "emergency"-package, lighters and ashtrays, just to be sure...

No shit, I never used facebook, but it seems like it has a similiar addiction-potency as nicotine (wich is quite high).

Emotions are another source of chemical messengers. Lots of things can be, to varying degrees.

Humans are social animals, even those of us that /usually/ prefer to be private.
