Stopped smoking weed and lost all my productivity

I recently had health problems and quit drugs and booze, that part was pretty easy but quitting weed has kicked me in the ass. I’ve wanted to stop smoking for a while it was just a waste of money atp but I’ll admit to using it as an adhd med since my early teens, it’s just such a quick dopamine fix. Not smoking isn’t really the hard part it’s actually doing everything else without it. Since I’ve quit I’ve just lost all motivation I’ve fallen behind at uni, my room is never clean and I don’t even want to see people. It sounds like I’m depressed but I’m just.. unmotivated? I need a new reward system that gives dopamine to trick my stupid little brain into doing things. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem or any advice on sorting out my dopamine again. I expected a drop considering my brain hasn’t been producing its own to due the weed since I was like 14 but it’s just so annoying and I don’t have time for this. I was exercising for a bit but I’m postop still atm and have to be careful. I know it’s the right thing to do quitting but why does it have to be such a bitch to get my life together without it

I need a dopamine replacement

So ive recently had some health troubles and ive been trying to kick the drugs and booze the big ones honestly werent a problem for me personally as it was only occasional same with the booze but kicking weed has really fucked me. Not smoking isn’t the hard part for me it’s finding the motivation to do anything. I don’t know if any other stoners will relate but I pretty much used it as an adhd med to give myself enough dopamine to function and now I just lay in bed at day. Im falling behind at uni and my room is never clean. I just dont want to do anything. i know its part of the process but this isnt sustainable for me and i need some other kind of reward system to get myself to want to do things. Has anyone else had this or any ideas to counter it?
