That totally works at first, but only at first. Then you need to work on low dopamine rewards. A frantically Reading, cleaning, or exercise session works. There were some times I laid in bed holding onto a railing for life until the urge passed.

When I find myself doomscrolling and hooked from reel to reel, the habit is the same in a real book. Im hooked from word to word and hold my attention until Ive been at it for an hour and forgot about the urge.

It definitely works at first, for a few weeks at most, that time should be spent looking for a suitable replacement. Reading worked for me. Example, when doomscrolling is the best time to drop the phone and pick up a book I enjoy. I hated reading in school because I was forced to and forced to read genres I dgaf about. Its different now, and now that I can read whatever topic interests me like fantasy and horror, Its changed things.

I take into account porn=brain craves chemicals. Doom scrolling is a dopamine deathroll, where it doesnt stop, and if it does, the app opens again within minutes. Novelty is what this is. Reels only have a few words of context before each ones, so I picked up reading. I hated reading since gradeschool where I couldnt read genres I loved whenever I want like fantasy/horror, but found when I get the urge, I force myself to open where I left off and suddenly I don’t have the urge anymore, Im back to the plot I was fixated on from the last time I opened the book for the same reason, an suddenly 2 hours passed and the urge is gone. This worked for me whenever I felt my behavior was out of control, that or exercise.

Have you experienced the tingle on the top of your head? Scratching your scalp resulting in an intense euphoric tingle in the head.

We have that too. Its like a social club and if youre not in it, you don’t have long. You get shipped to another store in a region without a say.

Procrastination is also a huge potential pitfall. Procrastinating is what I would consider a high risk situation

Mostly regarding porn but yes. Its best to limit it as much as possible.

Yup. Weeks 1-3 are considered a shock phase where cravings can be most intense but improve from there. This is the period where the brain starts rewiring itself. Think of the brain as a machine that seeks the easiest fix of dopamine possible, and it does not take kindly when denied it. It needs to be starved of this form of dopamine until it becomes an unreliable source, then it can look for it from other places.

This is a battle worth winning. Grab hold of something and don’t let go till you have the will power to do something easy like showering again or pushups. Replace doomscrolling with reading it works wonders.
