I think it was when I got a tablet I stopped reading, since then it’s like I’ve been addicted to the internet and 14 I started smoking weed 15 I smoked meth for the first time, by 16 I was smoking weed nicotine and doing fake lsd and mushrooms every weekend by 17 I was doing all sorts of drugs anything I could get my hands on now at 18 I just wanna be sober and enjoy the things I used to enjoy get off the internet all the time
Just went through a breakup she was lying to me the whole time I think , and because I dont wanna right a massive paragraph on my drug use I’ll just say she helped me get clean when we broke up I went to a way way deeper hole im trying to pull myself out of
I overdosed on meth and am was using tons of Xanax to keep my blood pressure down
I’m just coming back to my senses I’m back to my main addictions nicotine, weed and benzos which I can read on weed and nicotine benzos make everything boring
I just want some advice on how to enjoy reading again after so much instant dopamine from drugs and internet
Since my drug use I haven’t finished a single book almost completed two
Halo Contact harvest ( atleast 75% completed)
Star Wars Death troopers (literally had less than 2 hours left on the audio book)
I wanna read frank Herbert’s dune after watching the Movies currently 3 hours into the first book and was loving it
I just can’t stay focused and with so many other things to do I consider “fun” it’s hard

Maybe you just need a good story line. A good plot, which is interesting enough to follow all the way to the end. Any interest in the lives of interesting people? You might do better with a biography of someone who went through some things, or lived in an interesting time.
Some books just take a long time to finish. I got into Michael Lewis after watching “Moneyball” but took a solid year to read, “The Undoing Project.”
Maybe start with short stories. You will like some and not others, but it’s easy, move to the next if not enjoying one…that’s the thing with anthologies.
And the ones you do, then you could look at those authors novels later.
Try the Years Best Science Fiction ones, Dozois, Clarke…
Yeas Best Fantasy, Datlow and Windling to start with.
read a book you loved as a kid! it helps start the momentum again
