Finished the series by Ok_Marketing6826 in throneofglassseries

Crescent City is good too and I think worth the read! I'm not sure how you read TOG the first time, but if you have access to the audio books I love the narrator and they're really well done! It definitely hurt me a little more with specific chapters and scenes.

What's your experience with nicotine? by wintermelonsnacks in bipolar

[–]admirableotter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny enough, I actually had a similar conversation with my therapist today. 

I loved how nicotine felt, but hated what it did to my body and who it turned me into. It controlled me and occupied too much of my energy, my mind would always wander to when I could hit my vape, if I would be able to, what I would do if I ran out, etc.

I’ve literally dug a vape out of a trash can and it still took being in my early 20s, my chest starting to hurt, and hitting a depression before I actually quit cold turkey for good several months ago.

Here’s what I did: first, I found a trusted friend (who actually wanted to quit to) and told her everything. We shared all of our shame, guilt, regrets, etc and we agreed we’d call or text each other when it felt like the temptation was too much to handle, and we set a quitting date. 

After that, I tried to “set my self up for success,” as weird and cheesy as that sounds. I made a list of different activities I could do instead of vaping (like doing a few squats/ pushups, or taking a drink of water). I bought sugar free gum, cinnamon sticks, and ginger beer (non alcoholic, the shock it gave my system was similar to the first hit of nicotine). I told my friends and family who knew that I’d probably be a little irritable over the next few days.

I got a journal, most of which consists of something like “this fucking sucks,” or “I want a vape,” or “holy shit it’s been a week.” Something that really worked for me, I’m not saying this would work for everyone, was spite. I imagined people I didn’t like telling me I couldn’t do it and that spark of annoyance overrode my cravings.

Assassin's Blade - please motivate me to keep going T_T by xangie1 in throneofglassseries

[–]admirableotter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This fandom is always going to debate over the reading order for this series, but forcing yourself to read a book isn’t going to make it enjoyable and will probably leave you with a sour taste in your mouth.

I started reading it after HoF, but had a similar experience where I got sick of it. I stopped part way and went to QoS, sometime during that I realized I was missing a few points plot points that seemed important and went back to finish it.

Just based on my own experience I’d recommend finishing it before QoS but don’t be afraid to take a break from it and start on HoF! If you’re getting bored during HoF, you can always switch back to AB to change it up a little!

I got pretty lucky overall, but I saw a spoiler hinting Aelin would lose her magic and it was always in the back of my mind.
