Dopamine Detox and fighting addiction

How long does it take a videogame and Internet addict to reset his reward system, so that he enjoys delayed gratification again?
I am currently recovering from both addictions and have a very hard time working out, studying or reading. These activities are extremely unstimulating and exhausting for me. Will they ever become exciting once my dopamine system is back in its "ancestral state"?
