So, finally I've been able to reach the 30 days again(not my first time). I'd like to tell you that I'm feeling great benefits like girls' attraction, brain fog is gone and etc... But, well, flatline just kicked in a while ago(maybe a week) and I'm not feeling any of that. Low energy Low libido Cravings for junk food(sugar especially) Sleep is a little better, but not 100%. I'm always waking up tired, even sleeping 8 hours or more. Brainfog Of course, it is all due to the lack of dopamine in the brain, cause I've cut the chief source of it, so brain is collapsing somehow, right? But that means change. I think it will endures more two weeks to get better( so, maybe at day 40/45 flatline is gone). Good luck for all of you and let's keep moving.
Congratulations. Wanted to ask: does you flatline feels pretty much same like you were on PMO? And did you start feeling benefits around the same day on other tries? In my first try I felt so great after a week or so.. Its been six months. Since then I managing 7-10 days almost all the time. Managed 20 days once, but I never ever felt these benefits again except first time. Maybe I never will?
I guess I feel a little worse than when I was on PMO. I remember start feeling the benefits after two months. So, its been six months and you haven't had the benefits yet?
It looks like you might just need to cut back on porn, but really just takle your social anxiety... Question?? Do yo feel horny during flatline?
Six months with many relapses. No, I dont feel any better yet. Now I am in day 9. Just started dreaming more.
I thought you were in monk mode during six months. I'm on this journey since 2016. If you relapse, you just get back to the beginning. ( actually, Ive read that it's worse to relapse each 20 days than relapse every day, so we must not relapse at all)
Are you sure that is a flatline? It seems to me that only a week is not enough to have a flatline, but I guess everyone is different in this point.
I've read it on yourbrainonpron.com ,but I don't remember where exactly. It was a thread saying that reducing the days won't work for porn addiction.
I've had streaks before this and although I relapsed, my mind has recovered to a degree. During my longest streak I had a flatline for two days during the third week.
before falling back, around 18-20 days I started to feel again, mentally I was much better .. Saturday I fell back but I regretted it, now I have to go through the hell of anxiety, of the tired mind. a little flatline, but pass.
I am also around day 30-31, flatline is getting better. It was worse from day 25-29, i couldn't feel anything at all. Felt like i lost the D.
