A decade of browsing 4chan has fried my dopmaine receptors. What's the best way to fix this?

If you live near a forest, walk on its tracks in the morning for half an hour. Then before dinner use an exercise bike or treadmill or whatever for half an hour. Whatever you do that you find pleasing, like eating snacks or watching your favourite show, force yourself to do at least 20 pushups before or something similar. You need to teach yourself that you can only get pleasure if you work for it. The exercise part teaches you to enjoy the time you spend relaxing, and it keeps you healthy which makes you feel great. The only way to reset your dopamine receptors is to force yourself to work for pleasure.

Take this schedule slowly and ease into it, like start off with only doing the morning walk every other day, or 10 pushups once a day. Later you want to start cooking your own meals. If you want a burger, you'll need to make it yourself instead of buying fast food. If you want a fruit, you need to open and cut it yourself instead of buying those pre-cut slices in plastic wrap. Teach yourself to work for your pleasure. Not so much as growing your own food, and baking your own bread, but you get the picture. If you want a sandwich, make it yourself instead of buying a pre-made one from a cafe.

Set yourself goals as well. It proves to yourself, no matter how small they are, that you're progressing in life. Goals can be small things like spending under x amount of money this week, doing the laundry in less than x time, or reading 10 pages a day. Getting 8 hours of sleep is also very important. Waking up at sunrise everyday is truly top tier and it makes your day seem longer rather than waking up at 1pm and only getting a few hours of sunlight

The true path of happiness ends at self-sufficiency. There is no better feeling than being in control of your life, whether that be your finances, body, mind, routine, etc... The trick is to just work for pleasure, don't indulge without effort or you'll lose the satisfaction of having something pleasurable.

cold turkey has always been the best way to bounce back, assuming you're not so far gone you'd become incredibly violent through withdrawal, but it's still possible by committing yourself to a mental institute which will look after you

Not sure if it's the *best* way but here are things that helped me a bit that also aren't particularly difficult.
Keep in mind I am a shut-in neet at the moment these things don't help with anxiety but have helped with putting hours into hobbies that aren't immediately gratifying.
>Morning walks
Gives me a sense of momentum, some energy and time to think about what you want to do.
>supplements
Being vitamin deficient can make you feel like shit.
Also look into nac if you feel like it, it can help with impulsive behavior. Dosing 3x a day and I find it much easier to stop refreshing websites like 4chan that are bad for me and focus on what I want to do.
>Nicotine gum
If I don't feel like doing something it can change my mind, just don't abuse it.
Also Adderall or some other stimulant would probably work.
>Goals
Don't set vague goals or no goals, if you want to learn knitting set something as a goal of what you want to make and convince yourself you truly do and how cool it will be. Then watch the basics and work your way there, you have to be your own hypeman for you aspirations.
