My neurochemical balance has been completely restored thanks to a sugar and dopamine detox.

For eight long years, I’ve battled insomnia, rarely getting a consistent six hours of sleep at night. But over the past 10-15 days, everything’s shifted: I’m falling asleep early, waking up refreshed, and even my fragmented three-hour slumbers have stretched into solid six-hour rests. These are promising signs of real change.

I’ve kicked all my sugar cravings to the curb. What once felt irresistible now overwhelms me—those beloved treats no longer appeal. The same goes for digital distractions: videos, endless scrolling, and texting people all feel exhausting and frustrating. I just want to escape them.

Instead, I’m drawn to spending more time in a calm, undistracted state, fully present in the moment. Far from screens and superficial online services, this feels like true freedom.

The early days were brutal, but this new lifestyle has transformed my physical and mental health. I’m calmer, more content, and less reliant on external approval or validation. Now, I measure success by my own internal standards.
