I've reached day 112! Thought I'd share my experience in case anyone finds it useful… Did I find it difficult? No. Which was a surprise. I learnt what P was doing to me and I just decided to stop PM, and I did. I actually haven't wanted to watch P since I started. Stopping myself pointlessly surfing the internet (Facebook etc) is harder, I still need to watch myself. What I think helped make this easy is that I had worked through emotional issues that were causing me pain before starting (that's just how it worked out) so I didn't need the PMO to block bad feelings any more. How about flatlining? I've had multiple flatlines, on about a 12-14 day cycle. The first 2 were pretty heavy then they reduced in intensity. What about sex? I had sex on day 13- this was too soon, don't do it. I also had sex on days 73,74,75. That was great- everything worked exactly how it's supposed to. Am I cured? In terms of "does my dick work?"; yes. I think so. Every time I went through a flatline, I felt a bit better afterwards. Before I started my baseline mood was not depressed exactly but kind of flat or numb. I felt something was wrong but couldn't pinpoint what it was. Then I started nofap, experienced superpowers then crashed in to a flatline and, well, after each cycle my dopamine sensitivity seems to increase. Now I feel generally pretty good, and the mood rollercoaster seems to have stopped. There are people on here saying that your recovery will take years and years… Well maybe it won't! I've seen really good results in 90 days
Awesome to here all this man. Real motivating. After 1 month I fell into a flatline which was EXTREMELY depressing. Came out of it. Went back in but not as bad. And it seems like the cycle is getting easier. I'm well on my way to a successful reboot. Continued success my friend.
flatline is terrible sometimes, i fell into 2 or 3 terribles flatlines but when you get out of that shit you really feel better
That's so motivating haha. I totally agree with feeling better after each flatline passes.. did you have pied before this?
i'm not been addicted to porn in my life until i discovered i had ed (i was an excessive fapper, and for years i would enjoy masturbation more that real women )....so i don't know if my ed was released to porn.
Good work man! You touched on a great point in that we can't ignore underlying issues in our lives and expect to be successful in our recovery. Thanks for inspiring the rest of us.
