I always thought porn is the problem or being fat is the problem or being lazy is the problem. But the truth is it all boils down to the same thing:

When your brain gets used and addicted to dopamine everything else becomes meaningless. And since all the businesses out there know how dopamine works this is why dopamine addiction is so common these days. Food is designed to get you addicted. Porn is designed to get you addicted. Stores are designed to get you addicted. Games are designed to get you addicted.

EVERYTHING is designed to release dopamine in your brain. The world is one big fucked up crack kitchen. So since I have fallen victim to the dealers time and time again throughout my entire life I need to radically cut dopamine from my life like the fucking cancer it is. I need to be a fucking extremist about cutting the dopamine. Tibetan monk style asceticism.

Or to be more specific: Only PRODUCTIVE ways of getting dopamine - such as working out - shall be legitimate ways of getting dopamine. Any fake ways of deluding yourself into happiness shall be strictly restricted.

So here is what I have done so far and what I will be doing over the next couple of days:
1. I deleted my entire porn collection.
2. I will install porn blockers on all devices. I want to never watch porn again.
3. I will sell my PS4 and XBox 360 with all games.
4. I will look into replacing my phone with something simple that can only be used for calls and SMS.
5. I will move my PC outside in the storage room and only use my e-ink Tablet for the web because it can not play videos.
6. I have already deleted ALL social media accounts. I deleted Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Youtube - 10 year old accounts - and I will block all of these sites on my router.
7. I will not listen to music with the exception of when I'm working out so my brain learns to associate working out with dopamine.
8. Food will be restricted to a healthy diet. Any kind of sweets is totally forbidden. Same goes for fast food.

I am also considering to rebuild my living room into a fitness studio.

I know you guys are not taking me seriously because I have not done too much yet and you shouldn't be until I have proven you wrong.

I'm already doing ALL of those things and I'm currently on over 45 days of nofap. I'm starting to be afraid of getting out of my mind sometime and rape someone on the street.

I think what you need to do is to get your mind of sexual stuff. One time I did nofap for about 20 days but while doing it I thought about women all the time and at the end of those 20 days I had an orgasm that felt like 1000 orgasms combined. That was not a good way to go about it since it only made me feel like no fap was terrible and counter productive.

Getting your mind off sex is what matters. If you do then jacking of once a week just to make sure you don't get prostate cancer or go nuts shouldn't be an issue IMO.

Fill my life with actual content. I will lose a ton of weight. I will work out. I will build up a business.

That's one way to become even less NT than you already are.

self-mastering is not about renouncing to everything

self mastery concerns the ability of scheduling time for hard work and time for enternainment, in a balanced way

enternainment could be seen as a reward for having worked hard for your goals during the week

Yes you are right on a long term perspective. But on a short term perspective I really just need to cure my dopamine addiction.

How are you doing so far?
 
How are you doing so far?

I have made progress but I am still not where I want to be. I still get distracted way too much. I have certain goals such as leaving Germany and moving to Bulgaria and founding a new business there and sometimes I am uncertain of which way to go and what to do first. I tend to think too much and I tend to dream too much of how it is going to be. I need to make a clear schedule and then stick to it and stop questioning it all the time. It is difficult that I need to work at the same time. All in all I would say that my mind is still not nearly 100% clear.

I need to cut any and all distractions. I think I will have to organize certain things better as time is very limited now with all the things I am doing right now. I need perfect organization so I have time to focus on what is important.
 
Remove dopamine? Are you retarded?

This isn't removing dopamine, it's cutting out high dopamine sources , to upregulate the dopaminergic system so activities relatively low in dopamine can induce the same effect.

Bad larp. No one who wagecucks 9 hours a Day says no to entertainment.
And that is exactly the problem. You are working 9 hours a day so once you come home you do not want to keep working and build up a business. You want to LDAR and be entertained. But the result of this is that you are going to stay a wagecuck for the rest of your life.

If being a wagecuck is making you sick then you have to be able to continue to work when you come home from work. It is the only way to escape a life of slavery.
