My way of not being addicted to Facebook.
(1) Set a ridiculously long passphrase that you'll do your best to memorize. Mine is 42 characters a la FHeCYERKCbdk289!# etc.
(2) Install plugins on your browser that disable Facebook features that you consider pure poison (in my case: Facebook newsfeed).
(3) Log yourself out of Facebook but keep yourself logged in to Messenger (if you're the chatty type like me, I consider it to be ICQ or MSN and as innovative as MSN was back then, yes I used MSN :P I'm from Europe).
(4) Download a slow crappy browser and put your main Facebook account on auto login.
(5) Create a second account with as few friends as possible, and get into the groups / whatever you find important that brings value to you. Set that second account to auto login on your main browser. Don't invite friends, but do let your friends know you want access to the groups they are in as well (if you find that important).
(6) Do the same for mobile.
This system allows you to: use the part of Facebook you consider valuable (in my case Messenger) and will put you in the situation of only using Facebook when you reaalllyyy need to but otherwise won't.
The only discipline you need to have is to not put yourself on auto login on your main browser. You also need the discipline of typing a passphrase every time (have fun on mobile!).
