Struggling with dopamine seeking

Hello team,

I just recently joined the nofap forums, and I have been abstaining from porn and masturbation for about 4 months now. I am looking for advice on how to stop myself from the dopamine seeking behaviours that I have been going through. Although I haven't been seeking porn or nudity (a feat that I am proud of considering my previous consumption), I am guilty of occasionally looking up models on instagram, reading sexual stories on reddit, and google searching things that give me a rush; i.e., links that could lead to nudity or porn. I can't seem to keep a streak longer than a few days without a dopamine seek. My girlfriend has been supportive of my journey, however I sometimes feel like I am letting her down when I act on seeking the other things I listed above.

How the fuck are some of you so disciplined on this?? Please share because I always considered myself a disciplined person until I began this journey.

I am aware that I should just go for a walk or do something else when urges arise, however working from home is boring and provides me with many triggering thoughts on a daily basis (I currently cannot go into work due to covid). I have also read Your Brain on Porn, and have been to counselling for porn.

 

Thanks will do!

 

Taking Vyvanse 2-3 a week for ADHD, occasionally drinking, lifting weights, listening to music, going outside in the sun, and seeing friends.

 

I was just telling you what other non sexual seeking dopamine seeking behaviours that I have.
