What could I get addicted to?

I need something to waste away my life with, something to distract me from the shitshow that is my life.

Preferably something I can do without leaving my apartment (no smoking).
>>
Get addicted to some form of art like music or physical art. Get really good and then make money off it
>>
Nitrous oxide
Opiates
>>
League of Legends or Dota 2.

Wont recommend wasting your life though

Weed, if you're looking to kill time.
If you're looking to get fucked up get prescribed xanax, then become an alcoholic and end up ODing when you mix the two. Xan is fucking cheap with a script.
>>
>>24079856
Psychedelics if you can get your hands on them
DUDE WEED LMAO
Or practice meditation
>>
>>24079856
Weed + MMOs.

Intersperse it with addictive serialized television (Lost, etc.)
>>
>>24081501

Literally posted no smoking. How fucking dumb are you?

Also, heroin. Good way to kill yourself as well, so...two birds, one stone.

Fuck, you son of a bitch! You'll make me drink.

>phsyical art

People will wipe their ass with your art they only want porn or music they can grind against Chad with.

>>24079856

Tbqh I got a drawing tablet and a art program and I've just been learning to draw and making shit.

It's kinda fun. It distracts me from things for awhile and I'm not harming myself or anything.
>>
>>24079856
Reading books is the best addiction.
>>
>>24079856
Maybe if you actually left your apartment your life wouldn't be a shitshow
>>
>>24079856
>What should I get addicted to?
Masturbation
>>
>>24082185
your handle make me hate you more then i've ever hated a tripfag. I read it, "epickid" then noticed I had way too much saliva in my mouth. You disgust me.

I'm downloading it right now. Is it good as or better than wow?
>>
>>24082282
This. If you're not reading books you're escapisming wrong.
>>
>>24082495
I didn't necessarily mean fiction. Reading non-fiction is just as rewarding and addictive.
>>
>>24082463
not even close. every mmo you ever play will just feel like wow but not as good.

considering the state of wow, it's at least something.
>>
>>24082282
Please tell me how to catch that addiction.
I want to be a literary type so much but I'm so bad at sticking with books I pick up.
>>
>>24082637
What is it that makes you abandon them?
>>
>>24082670
I get lured back here and don't have the discipline to resist, even when I enjoy the book.
I've gone through periods of reading a few books to completion, but then lapse back into not reading.

I know it's just a matter of forcing myself to do it everyday, but if I had that kind of discipline I wouldn't be complaining in the first place.

>>24082750
You can always just turn off your computer, unplug the internet, or go read outside of your house. Do you have an issue with it when power goes out? Can you read well in places where you're separated from technology, like waiting rooms?
>>
>>24082818
I'm considering unplugging my router except for maybe an hour each day.
Part of the problem is I only like to read when I know I can make it to a good stopping point, like the end of a chapter. So not being sure of how long I can read before having to stop tends to discourage me from reading at all.
>implying I'm ever separated from technology and 4chan when I have a smartphone
>>
>>24082976
Oh, you could just not take your smartphone. I don't see the point of them.

I'm not sure what sort of books you're trying to read, but there are plenty out there with extremely short chapters or subheadings. Stopping points shouldn't be a worry that hinders you from picking up books. You could also try novellas though, which you can read in one sitting anyway, so the stopping point would be the end.
>>
>>24079856
I can't recommend it but if that's what you're looking for booze is the answer. Get drunk throughout your free time, the real challenge begins when you need to plan around events (like work) and drinking but your tolerance is so high that despite your calculations, you are still drunk while functional at work. Normies notice if you can't pull it off impeccably.
It's rewarding in its own way.
>>
>>24083037
Yeah starting out small is probably the best idea here. Ultimately I'd like to read all the major works in Philosophy that I supposed to read in college but didn't (Phil major), but I should get a general reading habit in place before starting those.

Thanks for the advice, friend.
