Anyone else have a severe and negative audiobook addiction?

Hey all,Just wondering if anyone else has any experience this way. I have been developing an addiction to audiobooks over the last couple of years. I listen pretty much all day every day with an AirPod in one ear. Wheel of time, Any Sanderson, Stephen King, Fantasy Epics. I’m a security system technician and I generally work alone. I know that I use audiobooks as an escape. They allow me to escape my general reality and my reality induced depression. I’m trying to dial back as I’m only really ever half aware when listening and my wife and kids need me to be present. But the feelings I get when I can’t listen or when I finish a series and have no logical next listen are of absolute desperation. I feel nauseous until I know that I have my next book selected. Even if I’m not listening to it that minute I know that I can if I want to. The audible plus catalog has been an incredibly assuring service for this since implemented. But I can’t live in unreality and it’s so hard to get out.Anybody else at this level? Am I alone? Ugh. via /r/audiobooks https://ift.tt/3qOCASv
