Hi guys, I'm Jackson—the founder of the group.
I started this group to scratch my own itch. I've struggled with moderate addictions of all sorts—junk food, porn, social media, video games, I've done it all.
Last year, my addictions were starting to ruin my life. Then, I read "Dopamine Nation" by Anna Lembke, and it changed my life. I started a dopamine detox, and—through a lot of trial and error—eventually completed a 30 day detox. I felt happy for the first time in months, and I finally started making progress on my other goals.
But, I always felt that the communities around dopamine detoxing were lacking. So, I'm starting my own :)
Here are some fun facts about me:
• I'm 22 years old and work for a philosophy think-tank (probably not what you think lol),
• I love all things personal development—health, fitness, productivity, entrepreneurship, philosophy (obviously 😉), neuroscience, writing, and so much more. If it relates to improving my life, then I'm probably gonna love it,
• I've recently started traveling more. This September, I went to Guatemala for over a month to visit my long distance girlfriend ❤️
I'm gonna be going through another dopamine detox, as I've recently started falling back into old patterns. Specifically, I'll be abstaining for mindless social media scrolling and junk food.
I can't wait to meet you all!
