Although I'm not a veteran, I fully understand where you're coming from with facebook addiction. You get lured in with relevant content, people you agree with and staying connected with friends/family. Next thing you know, you're sat on the toilet at work annoyed at someone you're supposed to be friends with because of the stupid stuff they just posted for the hundredth time. Deleting my facebook has drastically improved my quality of life and relationships with the people closest to me, it gives such a warped perspective of the world.

I'm glad you got free of it and welcome to the world of crypto/steemit, it's not that scary honest :)
