OK, it's on.
What is your dopamine addiction?

Pretty much for it me, it's gaming, over-eating, online participation, and watching movies/decent TV shows... probably in that order as far as the rush/stress-relief.

My main one was smoking but I've kicked that habit and am finding other things to occupy my mind. I find I read a lot more, especially on my phone when travelling and this is potentially more dangerous as I am less aware of my surroundings.

Curiosity and then discovery is the most addictive climax I have yet to experience.
Lot
Don't forget to bring a towel
I like masturbating. I like getting stoned. I like eating candy. I like video games.
I think I still might be a teenage boy.

Nothing. I've dun did all those things a million times and shall a million more. It's all gone stale. I enjoy them all equally. I go through cycles. It used to be anime then videogames but both neither of those have precedence anymore. Don't you see? It used to be weed which doubly increased the dopamine. But I prefer lucid-er dreams than mild psychedelia. Might as well go all the way. But I still might smoke on a special occasion, although it impairs my cognition and makes inputs more sloppy. So having dreams and inducing them via external substances is, like, the same thing. It's better to smoke no more than at least once a week rather than frequently, for my preference at least.

Designing/building stuff, I just found some $6 mitre gears with a 6mm bore and pre-tapped for set screws, this has made my day 
A D-shaft ~60mm diameter 24v DC motor would make my day even sweeter but I guess a KB 44-74 will suffice, I can grind the flat myself although I hate doing that to any motor over $20, it feels like vandalism when someone else has gone to the trouble of putting precision bearings in it.

A cigarette with a cup of coffee first thing in the morning.
The "AhHa" moments that boil into consciousness seemingly out of thin air that result in an instantaneous revelation about an issue that ive been contemplating.
When i get something working that was broken. Particularly if the method was clever or unconventional.
When i give someone advice, and it made an improvement in their circumstances.
Finding nuggets of wisdom that help me with my perception of of how things work.
Intimacy.

Sex, Mathematics, Meditation, Yoga and running. I enjoy sex the most. Everything else is pretty much equal.

Gaming and jogging give me some enjoyment. Oddly, I don't get a high from lifting weights.

Aw yiss! sweet cherry cola!
For me I find that it's the irregular things which give me the 'dopamine' feels.
Like tidying the house, it doesn't happen very often but when it does I get those feels. The same goes for tidying up my desk, I have a placard saying "A cluttered desk is the sign of genius" but it really isn't as I can never find anything. A tidied desk makes me feel good, but is usually a mess again by the following day.
DIY. I hate it, I'm bad at it. Who needs instructions anyway? But when you complete the task, those feels. I often find it quicker to look on Youtube for a 5 minute instructional video on how said DIY task is done than sitting and reading instructions.
Going to the gym, I like to look after myself and when I've had a good session I think this is the most natural dopamine release. I like to think of my body as a tool, I like to nurture it and push it - after that hard session I get outside of the gym, sit in the car, my heart rate is still elevated, my legs feel like jelly, I'm thirsty and needing hydration, the ultimate dopamine reward usually follows.

Sex drugs and philosophy/understanding, those moments of overturn when you grasp a new concept and feel like you've just woken up for the first time. Sensuality in general. Any pleasurable stimulation of my senses, food, music, visual, scents...so art I suppose. Creating something that justifies my narcissism :-D

music, taking stims, cycling, fucking my hand, and reckless driving
though honestly, exercise releases endorphins which are opiates essentially.
Opiates are responsible for serotonin and not dopamine.
Dopamine is supposed to be what you get when you brutally murder someone who nearly killed you.
Or you nearly got killed but made it alive.
The brain just yells good job at you for making it through.
