Had a breakthrough listening to this episode! I also used books like drugs!
Growing up I read books obsessively, and while it worked out my brain it definitely was a coping mechanism. I remember most having to need a book every moment. I’d take one into the movie theater to read before the movie started. I’d lift weights and read between exercises. Thinking back now it was quite mad!
It explains quite a bit! Couldn’t believe it!
