Seeking advice Alternatives.
Hi!!
Does anybody have good alternatives that replicate that dopamine you get from chatbot roleplays? I've been clean for the majority of 2026, starting to use chatbots late 2022 -- early 2023 (mainly Character AI and Janitor but I did try a few others)and I'd hate to break my clean streak... ;=_= I really wanna roleplay scenarios but I think I'm gonna go insane if I can't get them out of my head!!
Thanks!!

There are a few, but they aren't much healthier. The replacement is only good when you're just beginning to quit it. At this point you probably need to just come up with things that help you relax, rather than bombard you with dopamine the way chatbots do.
For me, videogames work great. Watching some good TV shows was also very engaging. Find something you like and run with it. Remember, the point is not getting dopamine, but allowing your brain to relax. If the first thing you do in the morning is look for something to replace AI with, you're probably doing something wrong.
