I want a do over. No more of this. No more browsing this site

not bad

I've been here over a decade, pretty sure I'm fucked royally in that I can never leave but I have stopped browsing 4chan all day and have started to pursue hobbies that I wish I had been doing all along. There was no rhyme or reason necessarily, one day I just figured I might as well waste my time practicing something instead of reading drivel.
Though it comes and goes. I am in bed and have been all day (5pm atm) drinking and have been doing this for several days - but other days I'm drawing 8-10 hours a day, genuinely addictive.

In regards to drawing specifically for you op and getting back into it - I found that proper practice (go read /ic/ sticky but don't bother talking to them) followed by noticeable improvements is what really got me hooked.

Why don't you just go and do those things? Drawing doesn't require you to leave the house. You can do it WHILE browsing this place if it's too much effort to break free of this cesspit.

Go on /fit/ and post about lifting. It'll make you want to. Go on the faggot draw channels here and do the same thing. Why do you need a magic do over, when you're not even old enough to be a quarter of the way through your life span?

Odd running into a thread like this considering it's rounding on the better part of 2 years since I've really "browsed". But maybe this will help:
Go cold turkey and quit. Seriously. No weaning. Do not browse whatsoever. Remove /r9k/ and any related boards from your history so it doesn't show up in your browser autocomplete. If muscle memory has you typing in the link, stop yourself. Even places like /fit/ and /g/ seem pretty horrible for actually motivating yourself to do their respective topics.

Work at the things you want every single day no matter what even if it's for a small amount of time. If you want to read more, do it. Even if it's 11:55PM, use that last 5 minutes to read. The most important thing is to commit it to habit and to never have a day where you do absolutely nothing. For example, when I first started, I picked up piano. The first month or so sucked because it felt like a chore. But eventually it just becomes a part of your day, and you almost feel weird if you don't do it. I'm not an expert, but I can play openings to my chinese girl cartoons which was my goal in the first place (I also ended up getting a teacher part of the way through). I'm not a big believer in motivation, but making tasks like reading an ordinary, everyday thing is the best way to do it regularly.
It probably goes without saying but as much as people like to say otherwise, constantly browsing this board has an effect on your overall attitude and outlook. I'm sure some people are exceptions to the rule, but I feel generally happier and more willing to get up and do shit once I took a long breather from here.

Why should I take your advice if you're still here though? Seems like you couldn't quit 100%

Was linked to a different thread from discord, so that's why I'm browsing here at 2AM. Outside of links though, I've been off 4chan in general for a decent amount of time.
It's fair to be skeptical, but the above is just my personal experience.

you ain't going nowhere faggot
see you tomorrow

How do you learn how to draw? I'm a complete beginner and I feel like this is what is blocking me. I keep rereading the sticky but nothing sticks. I hate the books

Yes

>If so, what have you done?
Nothing

This. People sometimes change drastically, but it's usually only in response to some life-threatening event or major change of circumstances. I suppose you could inflict those on yourself somehow. I've never tried. I'm just happy enough to remain complacent.

There's no point of return

The only way you will ever change is to hit your own personal rock bottom

I feel like it's too late for me.

>>37320759
How do you start drawing? Is it helpful to imitate other people's pictures? is it suicidal to keep attempting to draw with a mouse?
