Chess Addiction

I have always admired chess for a long time but it was only last year that I took the steps to learning more about it - watching videos online, reading books, even getting a mini foldable chess board. To crown it up, I got signed up on Chess.com this year just to put into practice all that I've been learning, this getting better day by day. Since I started playing chess, I have noticed something about myself - I want to play it more and more. While sleeping at times, I see chess moves, tactics, positional strategies in my mind and I just want to get up, come online and put them in action. Although playing Chess has not affected me negatively in anyway (maybe it's because I have that urge for playing it excessively in check), I feel there is a tendency that one might get addicted to it - one more blitz, one more bullet and before one realizes, hours have past. Have you experienced something similar to this before? How did you handle it?

Yes. I haven't handled it and have only spiraled deeper!
