Knock knock! Who is this? This sounds soooo recognizable! Same thing... Created a website, put adsense on it, earned well, created another website about how to earn with adsense, and put adsense on it, things started taking off very well, bigger hosting required, rented server, friends started... blah blah blah
100% same story, but I had the hackaton weekend about 2yrs ago :-) Then I made the same decision as you have. All: out!
Glad you to hear you got rid of the burden, and the cold water ;-)
