To repeat what Steemit addiction, or oversteeming as I call it, has done to me and my life would be waste of time. Basically, whatever has happened to you has happened to me too. I will add just one thing. I have seen my Steemnow.com snapshot, the increase in reputation score and massive votes, more than a dozen times...in my dreams.

I love Steemit but I do not wish to compromise on more important things in life; health, sleep, relationships and reading books. I was doing that because of oversteeming a week ago. My posts were rocking and featuring on trending page but my sleep was gone and life was out of balance.

I cannot thank @lukestokes enough for his timely guidance. It was a converation with him which led met to stop harming the balance in my life. I have so much to learn in life and Luke is a big part of my learning process. I wish I could be like him; an outstanding human being with genuinely good values.

This post by Luke is what he gave me and the video inside it is what inspired me to take a look at what I wish to accomplish and what really can I afford to sacrifice.

I still Steem a lot. I still do things you listed so nicely. I am fairly active and have a lots of plans raring to be executed. But I feel that there a sense of calm now. Thanks to Luke again.

Finally, I noticed that I wasn't following you already so I did that. This post have strengthened the perspective I needed so much so I gave it my full vote. I know it will helps thousands of peopl who see my blog so I resteemed it as well.

Loved reading this post. Thank you for the mention. It was so nice talking to you, and will always be!

With Love,

Ilyas
