Im in the same boat. I still have the problem actually. Im in my early 20s, and one time for maybe 3 or 4 month straight (No job, no school) I simply read. No sleep, no social outings, nothing. Im gonna take your advice and take 2 month break. I would literally lie to my friends and say I was busy, but in actuality I read. Its strange to say its an addiction, but it can be
so i have arthritis all throughout my spine despite only being in my late 20's. This leads me to, perhaps unwisely, spend a lot of time in bed reading manga. I used spent entire weekends in bed before doing nothing but reading manga. Not sleeping, not eating, only occasionally getting up to go to the bathroom. it became an addiction and a escape from my pain, but it was affecting my real world life in a negative fashion. I took a three month break from reading anything. Books, magazines, web comics, and especially manga. I started painting again, drawing, sewing, whatever i could do, so long as it wasn't reading. I broke the habit and now limit my reading to 1-2 hours a day.
Any other Manga Addicts want to share their story?
