Dopamine Detox for Porn Recovery: A 7-Day Plan

One of the most powerful ways to accelerate recovery is by resetting your dopamine system. That's where a dopamine detox comes in.

Why Detox?

Porn, social media, junk food—they all flood your brain with dopamine. Over time, natural rewards feel flat. Detoxing restores balance.

The 7-Day Reset

1. Day 1–2: Remove high-dopamine triggers (porn, social media, junk food).
2. Day 3–4: Add natural dopamine sources—exercise, sun, nature.
3. Day 5: Practice a full day of boredom tolerance (no screens).
4. Day 6–7: Integrate mindfulness, journaling, and low-stim creativity.

Expected Results

By the end of a week, you'll notice cravings reduce, clarity improves, and simple pleasures feel rewarding again.
