    I was gonna try this thingo from next week. I need some advice as to how do I make it most effective? Has anyone ever tried it before? What routine stuff should I consider as dopamine injective?
     
  2. I've never did it. But from what I know start with a few hours or one day on a weekly basis. I would like to hear from experienced also.

    I never did it either, but would like to add some advice.

    In stoicism, there's something calleda practicing misfortune. It's basically having some days in a month where you be most uncomfortable so that you train yourself to not fear or dread this uncomfortable state. Sometimes, it could be hours in a day or a day in a week. Remember, this is probably a routine for the rest of your life.

    One more thing.

    (P.S. That doesn't mean you should just go right ahead. Find the middle ground between research and action, that's how we improve the most.)

  4. Oh yeah it's really good. I tried it myself.
    Dopamine detox is awesome and highly recommended for porn addicts.
    It goes well with fasting in general. Learn how to fast your body and mix it with the dopamine detox for maximum effect.

    If you want to know more about Dopamine Fasting look up Dopamine Detox online and you'll find a video by "Better Than Yesterday" on youtube.

    Considering your user-name is Ahmed I'd assume you're a muslim so fasting your body probably wouldn't be an issue to you :) .

    Personally only ever worked for me if I did something while on the fast like walking/playing board games with family/coding/studying etc.
    When I just did nothing and just sat or bounced a ball, I found that my urges were pretty bad and led to an eventual relapse.
