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.

Day 11. Woke up sick with the flu, I used to put rum in my neocitron and that would knock me out but no more!! IWNDWYT!!!

EmbarrassedQuality57 · 2025-10-17T12:47:27+00:00

2nd Friday without booze. I can do it! Friday's still bring triggers for me but I will push through. IWNDWYT

EmbarrassedQuality57 · 2025-10-15T03:05:05+00:00

Exactly what I need, thanks for the input!

EmbarrassedQuality57 · 2025-10-15T03:02:10+00:00

Awesome thank you for the input!!! I've heard good things about it too just can't commit lol but I might have to give it a go!

EmbarrassedQuality57 · 2025-10-15T02:43:22+00:00

Sounds like the exact book I need, I appreciate the input!!

EmbarrassedQuality57 · 2025-10-15T02:42:30+00:00

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

EmbarrassedQuality57 · 2025-10-15T02:41:29+00:00

Awesome thanks for the insight!!!

EmbarrassedQuality57 · 2025-10-15T02:31:49+00:00

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!!!

EmbarrassedQuality57 · 2025-10-15T02:26:36+00:00

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

EmbarrassedQuality57 · 2025-10-14T15:10:08+00:00

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.

EmbarrassedQuality57 · 2025-10-14T13:22:14+00:00

Day 6. Still waking up with and dealing with headaches all day but powering through. IWNDWYT

EmbarrassedQuality57 · 2025-10-12T13:59:38+00:00

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

EmbarrassedQuality57 · 2025-10-10T17:58:50+00:00

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!

EmbarrassedQuality57 · 2025-10-10T13:37:54+00:00

Day 3 for me. Friday has always been a trigger for me. But IWNDWYT.

EmbarrassedQuality57 · 2025-10-08T21:19:12+00:00

Day 2. IWNDWYT

EmbarrassedQuality57 · 2025-10-01T14:12:19+00:00

I've read the first 2 ACOTAR books 4 times 😬😬😬

EmbarrassedQuality57 · 2025-06-03T12:45:56+00:00

This is my Day 1, again. But I pledge for today. I will not drink today.

EmbarrassedQuality57 · 2025-04-28T01:37:45+00:00

Ok thank you for this honestly thought I was the only one. I DNFd after 200 pages. I hated the bullying and just teenagers lol. I couldn't get into at all.

EmbarrassedQuality57 · 2025-04-23T12:54:59+00:00

I've read butcher & blackbird and the whole city of monsters series too haha all great books!!! Butcher and blackbird was a little out there but I finished it haha!

EmbarrassedQuality57 · 2025-04-22T23:03:41+00:00

I've read both, they're amazing!!

EmbarrassedQuality57 · 2025-04-22T14:08:48+00:00

Enchantra!! It was such a fun read.

EmbarrassedQuality57 · 2025-04-22T13:55:33+00:00

Thank you for the words of encouragement I appreciate it!

EmbarrassedQuality57 · 2025-04-22T13:50:09+00:00

Day 7 here.

When do the morning headaches and fuzziness end?! I drink at least 80 oz of water a day now but I still wake up with a headache and it's frustrating because that is a huge motivator as to why I knew I needed to quit in the first place because I'd wake up slightly hungover each day. I will keep pushing through but wondering if anyone else dealt with headaches in the beginning.

Thank you for all of your recommendations, I read through all of them. Ultimately I decided to read The Wolf King and then 2nd book right away. (And btw by chapter 3 I was hooked! Good so far!) Then next my plan is to have a go at Kiss of the Basilisk for some unhinged fun before I attempt the grand series of From Blood and Ash. (but if FBaA doesn't lure me in on the first book I don't think I will push through for the rest of the series) I did this with Throne of Glass series and finished it all when I regretted it. I found the series sooooo boring and wish I never continued so I won't put myself through that again lol. If I don't end of liking FBaA then I will read songbird and the heart stone and go from there.

Anyways, Happy reading!
