I'm not a true addict, not to any physical substance, anyway. No, I'm addicted to reading, or more specifically, fanfiction. They are similar symptoms, but not as severe as substance abuse. I think about it all the time, neglect my studies for it, and isolate myself to be on my computer to read. I'm going to try to quit it.
But how?
How do others find the resolve to quit anything that brings them pleasure? I know that neglecting everything for this is a mistake, but I can't help myself. How do you do it?
Where do you find the courage? I wan't to be like those who try. I don't want to ruin my first year of university, setting myself up for failure next year, by wasting my time and not studying.
I just... I want to know if others felt like this before. And what they did to remind themselves not to do it.
What they did to start making themselves strong.
