Not Dopamine Detox - Addicts Anonynous

on

 So, I did have a go with "Dopamine Detox" methodology, and whilst it worked with some success for a while, this success was not sustainable (for me). I kept (keep) going back to bad habits.

Then it struck me:

"I'm an addict!"

The first step to curing addiction is realizing you are an addict.

I am addicted to:

  • Looking at certain forums on the internet.
  • Looking at my phone for things like - YouTube, News ...
  • Checking emails (personal and work.)
  • Food (and drink) - I really struggle to go for a long time without thinking about food!
  • Thinking about fun things/day-dreaming/fantasizing!
  • Distraction!
"Q: What is addicion?"
"A: Addiction involves craving for something intensely, loss of control over its use, and continuing involvement with it despite adverse consequences. Addiction changes the brain, first by subverting the way it registers pleasure and then by corrupting other normal drives such as learning and motivation."

Okay, so now I know I am addicted, and I accept that I don't want to be addicted to these things (I want to be in control of my life and do what is right, what I should be doing...) what do I do?

For that I think we need to redo our:

To be continued in the next post that I'll call "My Anti-Addict Routine."
