It's 2:40 am here in Brisbane Australia, and I've just finished my second steemit post for the day. I really want to get into writing the next chapter in my story, but I really have to force myself to go to sleep tonight - I can't be up until 5:30am again it's leaving me wrekt.
Yesterday I wrote a post and was up until 4am, responding to comments and checking out other posts. Today I couldn't get the time to get on here until after 7:30pm, and I managed to write Part 5 of my story and I had it finished by around 10:30pm.
So I was convinced that I had plenty of time to write the next chapter Part 6, since I already knew what I wanted to write and how everything would happen. I started writing the moment I finished Part 5 however it took me longer than expected and here I am again, at now 2:55 am and I am still on steemit.
What's more I still feel compelled to write on steemit, I am truly addicted - steemit has completely replaced facebook in my life, I now only use facebook to look up other posts or share my own. Over the past 20 days I have spent almost every night on my computer, either writing or reading on steemit.
I have no idea how many hours it all adds up too, however I can say I have had a maximum of four nights not on steemit over the past 20 days since I signed up and every night as soon as I put my kids in bed (7:30pm every night) I come on here and I was up until at least 2:30 pm every night (most nights later).
So let's round it down 16 days times 7 hours per day, that means in the past 20 days I have been on steemit or doing steemit related tasks for 112 hours. O_O I haven't stopped doing what I normally do besides sleep - sleep has stopped considerably.
I have never really been massively active online besides in autism support groups, other than that my usage has been rather limited and rarely social. Steemit has changed the way I've been living my life and whilst I do need to get my addiction under control - sleep is needed too - I think once steemit becomes a normal part of my daily life and I become adjusted to it's awesome power of addiction I will be able to use it in a healthy way :D
