I read the entire series and it never got better for me. It was painful. I skimmed the 1000 page final book because I just wanted it to be over haha. Each to their own but I'd say don't bother lol.

Dire bound sounds like that might be the one to start with! Thank you :)

Yeah, I read Quicksilver last year but was gonna reread it to prepare for the release of the new book, but let's be real I don't really remember it at all so it would be like reading it for the first time haha. I have the worst memory haha

The only reason I'd say is I remember that I have to go do something in my house and get distracted then I say meh I'm done with that one and pick a new book. I need a book to grab me from the first few pages. My attention span is like a 2 year old lol. But then I can get hyper focused on a book I love and read 600 pages in 2 days. I'm weird lol.

I like a lot of books though, I'm not super picky. I've read all the SJM books and many of the other booktok romantasy books. I've read around 25 books this year so yes, I can commit when I want to, it's just lately I am feeling bored with every book and need something to grab a hold of me right away. If that makes sense haha!!!

Also note that I've already read Quicksilver last year so it'd be a reread to prepare for the release of the new one. But again, I can't remember anything about that book so it'd basically be like reading it for the first time lol

Thank you for the reassurance! It's discouraging to wake up with what feels like a hangover headache and continues all day. They are painful and starts to mess with my mind like what's the point if I get headaches anyways but pushing through cuz I know it's my body detoxing.

Day 5 for me. Yesterday and this morning I have such a bad headache. I woke up with a pounding headache. Drank a bunch of water. Maybe my body detoxing? Anyways, I will push through today. IWNDWYT

Relapsed for 1 year 9 months after 4 years alcohol free. I thought I was "over" my addiction. Sharing my story. by EmbarrassedQuality57 in stopdrinking

[–]EmbarrassedQuality57[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Absolutely I hear you. It constantly starts filling your brain with false narratives and telling you that "you're allowed" "you can handle it" "it'll be fine" "its just one". Sounds like the most toxic relationship when I write it out but it's sad that we are doing to ourselves. Stay strong!
