How to Quit Video Game, Pornography & Social Media Addiction | Dr. Andrew Huberman

[@WildMonk333]

Porn is harder to quit then any addiction I've had. I've quit cigarettes, social media, drinking, weed and porn is the hardest. I wish someone educated me about this horrible addiction. People say it's "normal". Ya, normal to a sick society.

[@SOLDGREEN]

How about just don’t watch it if you don’t like it😂

[@WildMonk333]

@ wow I never thought of that!!! Thanks for the great tip...

I agree, i had some of these addictions. I got over them tho so that's great

[@Yash_008_]

​@@WildMonk333It really is like that, just don't watch. Once you figure out your reason and remove the value you've attached to it, your brain will quickly follow with the rewiring after a few months.

After being addicted to P for almost 20 years, I decided to quit on Jan 26, 2025. I have been finding it difficult and this video comes at the right tie. Thank You Dr Andrew Huberman.

​​@@codykrueger796no, her advice is useless. Anyone who talks about "recovery" "cravings "or calls it an "addiction" and solely focuses on brain science (that your brain is broken, you have no control), puts this habit on a pedestal and demonifies it by making it like there's some sort of battle to be fought, stay away from them. The list includes most of the experts you see on KZbin.

He doesn't actually tell you what to do about these addictions, he just talks about mechanisms in this video

[@eliehoude]

That's a click bait due to so many men seeking to stop. How to stop is by first understanding how the behavior is negatively affecting your life. Once you are aware of it, it then becomes easier to find the desire to stop. With this knowledge, a person can now have a better feel in how the behavior is affecting them. Everything start with a seed.

[@user-ee1fn4vt8b]

He explains the mechanism literally in the first two minutes. When you push "highs" as high as you can, it drops your baseline, thus making the "peaks" even more attractive. So, pursue activities that slowly up your baseline instead pursuing activities that trigger aggressive spikes of pleasure.

Crazy timing! I recently quit Gaming and I'm trying to quit porn. I'm 24 so I still have time to stop it from affecting me long term

[@johnmoore1495]

Be careful with how you spend your time if you were truly heavy into video games. I quit back in the spring of 2020 somewhat unintentionally due to work. Well I basically just ended up filling that time with KZbin. Which honestly is worse imo. What you watch on KZbin is so niche most of the time that you can’t really relate what you watch to other people like you can with a video game or even a TV show. Not to mention it’s a completely passive experience, at least with video games it’s mentally active and there is at least some socialization if you play online with friends. I also think it made me use corn more. Get bored of KZbin? Why not just bust quick and then come back. Just be careful and choose active hobbies/activities (mentally or physically) to replace gaming.

[@AS-ot4sp]

gaming is easy to leave but prn is real piece of shit well here is a very simple piece of addvice that's try waking up and go for a walk your inner self won't allow it but you have to resist it (its called limbic friction ) and just keep one thing in my MORE PAIN = MORE MOTIVATION AND NATURAL DOPAMINE

[@copriti_che_fa_freddo]

Doc, I’m really grateful for your content, BUT: title here is kinda misleading in a way, unless “stop doing what you’re addicted to” qualifies as a set of instructions for overcoming your addiction

[@tri.man.3]

So the problem with too much dopamine "use" (high dopamine action/behavior) is that you won't have enough left in the pool for other actions that are productive and necessary?

[@liudaw3i]

Pretty much

This video was really helpful. and I understood everything. I guess I'm gonna try that 30 days challenge.

[@maskouye9222]

Hi Dr. Huberman, you're probably not gonna see this but I recommend you take a look at the Baldwin's research Institute's book "The Freedom Model for Addictions: Escape the Treatment and Recovery Trap" It's groundbreaking stuff, really goes against the deterministic addiction and recovery ideology. The ideas compiled in it are not new, but they've been compiled and structured for the audience. I hope you would have one of the founders on your podcast.

[@JDirty-w-tha-30]

So you gave us a lot of insight into what addiction is, now how do you quit? How does any of this superfluous terminology help anybody watching practically?

[@beemo9]

He answered that - dopamine fasting. This video is just an excerpt of his longer talk on it, so watch that if you need elaboration.

[@JDirty-w-tha-30]

@beemo9 his answer for how to quit is to quit. Thanks Hube

[@toplanetxt158]

@@JDirty-w-tha-30 for me, I reached a point where these 3 were killing all my productivity, relationship, and my enviorement. no washing myself, not cleaning my room, so I started to go to therapy and doing excercises with a bunch of 50-60 eldery woman and realised they had way better physique, and vigor than I had from procastination. that was revelatory for me, I am 27 years old, around 60 kg and my body was in a worse state than a 60 years person. after just 1 week of excercise and dropping gaming (had not yet dropped P and Social) I started to take actions again, I am starting to gain that spark of motivation again, I am not near where I want to be but I feel I am doing my frist step to become a better version of myself. at least I am bathing again, washing my clothes, cleaning my room more often, helping in the house, taking sunlight in the mornings. this was not a 1 day thing, this was after years of me being suck into this spiral until I couldnt deny there was something so very wrong in me. I wanted to do things but would never take action to do those. now that I do gaming way less and take the excercises in the morning I can have more energy and time to start to do the things I wanted to do like 5 years ago. I stopped lying to myself and finding the minuscule excuse to not do anything. I wanted to change that in me and return to be the very active person I once was.

[@TheTeamRandy]

Okay, but how is this info helping anyone quit these things ? I mean, I wouldn’t expect it to, but that “is” the title of the video, and it’s not delivering

[@Adrian-zu6tm]

this is a short clip taken from the full episode

[@samu33490]

did you really expect a clear cut answer to solve addiction? its obviously a very long & hard process. especially with everything being so easily accessible. & it’s not just about quitting but there’s also the struggle of re-building all the damage that’s already been done. the example of doing a dopamine fast is probably the clearest quick-answer people can get, but replacing these “quick dopamine-hit” habits with long meditative prayer & searching for God is the only real way out from that eternal dopamine loophole from my perspective.

[@progamer-df3be]

he said that dopamine stimulating detox for a month helps

[@TheTeamRandy]

@@samu33490 any leads to instructions or protocol for said dopamine fast ?

[@HaTran-pu8jo]

From this short video i can realize the way to quit that is think about dopamine pool. The porn or game you watch and play now will lead to big feeling of boredom afterward. So quit it to make yourself happy in future.

[@overshot8331]

This was enlightening. Also, I wonder if the baseline dopamine somewhat resets when we wake up because I find it much easier to focus when reading a book in the morning.

[@horus4980]

Would be interesting if addiction treatment can be enhanced with cold plunges. As far as I remember from one episode this leads to more stable dopamine levels

[@TheWalkingSteakhouse]

Pro tip to overcoming an addiction: Understand the underlying issues in your life that are driving you to whatever it is you are addicted to. It is almost always about running away from problems or negative emotions, so if you can find out what is "wrong", you can better deal with the core issue

[@Mae-k4b]

It’s not always addiction-it’s often a lack of purpose. During COVID lockdown, without a job or hobbies I could no longer do, I turned to porn and video games. But once I found productive things to work on, those distractions faded. Many people aren’t addicted-they’re just filling a void from lacking goals or meaningful relationships. Each generation faces this: Millennials had internet-fueled porn and gaming, Gen Z adds social media, and the next trend will be AI slop/AI companions. The real issue for some people is a lack of direction and fulfillment.

[@BjornMakeitso]

Is cold quitting gaming really the right path? How about reaching a balance with school, excersize, friends and gaming. A person will eventually have to control his/her own fate when leaving the nest anyway. You need as a parent to get the kid ready. Be a proper parent and teach your kid.

[@beemo9]

He's saying to cold quit to break free from addiction. Once dopamine levels normalized, a person can try adding it back in moderation. But some people can't handle that due to a genetic propensity to addiction.

It's almost as if my change and realization of porn as a danger made them uncomfortable about their comfort and use of it.

[@zomnipotential]

Hi, thank you for this clip. I had to listen to it twice, before I could understand almost everything. Now a question: Would someone that goes to the gym regularly run the risk of becoming addicted to the dopamin release caused by the activity?

[@Sidweddingphotos07]

Though this is a hypothetical question but the answer is yes. At the same time, the advantages of working out regularly far outweighs the "potential addiction" to workout. Also, getting addicted to workout is very hard because you cannot workout without putting in physical effort which increases the friction. I have not seen unsuccessful, unhealthy people who are addicted to workout.

[@AnthonyVenmans]

Physical effort is still considered a healthy dopamine release sort of thing instead of passively watching or eating something.

[@rorydeken5261]

I used video games to quit porn, then I used books to reduce my video game time. I'm addicted to reading but I think its a much healthier addiction

[@KevinHPhotography]

What would be considered being an addict to P or videogames? If I access a P Site 2-3x a week and play 1 hour of videogames per day (Not everyday). Is that considered an addiction?

[@WWEFan120552]

I would say just set boundaries! For example I myself do this. I have set Defined boundaries for my dopamine. No videos games or anything super dopamine stimulating before work,school,chores,workout, and daily reading are done. That means nothing until the work is done! Then I enjoy my video games or Netflix guilt free.

[@zachnaranjo7230]

Fair question! I’ve heard from some studies that not being able to go without something past a couple weeks is a sign of dependency. Some psychologists/neurologists recommend at least a 24 hour break in the week from excessive dopamine, it helps your brain refresh in different ways. A longer “dopamine fast” has been said to benefit mood, focus, social capacity and other factors of health. Do the research if you’re interested but it’s often good to take breaks from things in almost every aspect of life. I would argue that pornography is terrible for you and the science is starting to show, but I also have moral/ethical/ religious values against it. To each his own. Hope my suggestion to pursue this stuff helps

[@primaraider5994]

I think you should think about how these things impact your life. If feel like they don't harm you are ok. But you definitely should try going some time without p or videogames to see if you are better off without them. I think being addict means damaging your life while trying to quit but failing to do so

[@BeverageOfSorts]

doing an activity repeatedly is a habit, an addiction is when you start doing the habit so much it interferes with your life till it's a talking point. Which is why people can be like "i'm Addicted!!" in reference to.. a smoothie or going kayaking or whatever. Opens up the convo to why we habituate what we do though (dopamine), and if you're up to change for the sake of it

So when it comes to video games, is there a threshold where you could play and it wouldn’t deplete your baseline dopamine? Or even minimal playtime will mess up your dopamine levels?

[@OP-lk4tw]

At one point why do you wanna live for if you can't do anything that's fun because it's too stimulating, moderation is key, if you can't moderate something because you like it too much then you have to eliminate it, but if you do that with everything then life sucks

[@johnmoore1495]

Set clear defined boundaries and don’t break them. For example no games before your work/school work/chores are done. If you commonly have bigger tasks/projects, don’t let yourself play until those are done too. Or what I did in middle school and high school that helped me back then was: No video games Monday-Thursday, I could play Friday after school, all day Saturday if I wanted. But then Sunday I had to get my work done before I could play games on Sunday. Idk your age or current responsibilities but maybe if you’re just a normal working adult, try no video games until all your basics are done AND no earlier than say 5pm and have a hard cut off point.

I became dependent on porn, and sexual deviancies, ever since puberty. My generation of young boys loved to talk about sex.

The answer should be no. It's like any other drug, but normalized, and don't say "it makes me feel good". I had stopped watching porn entirely recently after realizing I would only do it at night or when stressed. It's just a way to cope, but unhealthy. I note that I feel a subtle ability to focus on activities or study for longer. I notice that I don't really think about it anymore, and I redirected it to meeting women. A new fire has been lit to form healthy relationships with people around me. I actually feel motivated for form bonds or connections that are meaningful in my life. Please anyone that reads this, just move on, move on from porn. It is not good.
