- capableweb 5y agoWorth noting for the ones who aren't familiar with it: physical dependency is different than psychological dependence. Not saying one is easier to stop/better than the other, but Facebook and heroin have very different effect on people.
- h2odragon 5y ago> physical dependency is different than psychological dependence I do not disagree. But. Let's see the heavy facebook user at hours 18 and 36 of abstinence, and at week 1 and 2 ... The psychological rewards have physical side effects with physical actions, too. This is not the same as life threatening DT's, but its also real physical effects.
