There's no way you should feel ashamed, you should be congratulated for taking the risk!
I believe, like you, that Steemit has to potential to generate a considerable amount of money if one dedicates ones self to it.
I am also spending 7 days a week on it as I see the huge potential and I actually love every minute of it! I also have a very supportive wife who helps me manage AtomCollectorRecords.com too.
The only risk in my eyes is if Steemit "goes under" for some reason I don't understand.
The community is amazing and the blockchain Steemit is built on seems to be one of the best so my belief is that this is a lot less risky than trying to start a traditional business.
I hope (and believe) that we will all look back on this in a year's time (maybe less) and say - wow - best decision of our lives!!
Keep up the amazing work you do and most of all - ENJOY THE JOURNEY!!

Yes at night I get nightmares hahah , but It's a risk and investment that I am ready to take because it can put us in a great spot if it works well for steemit!
