    Day 40 hard mode. Flatlining, and feeling fine for now. Who knew. Moderate-intense cravings on and off during the first month, but this past week has been easy as pie. Seems like my body and mind are looking out for me now. I can stare at slightly titillating images (yet no porn) for more than a few seconds and think nothing of it. Self-confidence, interpersonal skills and clarity of thought are at least 50% greater than when I started. Approach anxiety, regardless of the individual, is down manyfold. It's like I couldn't care less. And for the first time in a long time, I'm actually "feeling" like I can accomplish my goals.

    I'd like to hear from others at this stage in the game. Will update again at the 3 month mark.

    Thanks guys and stay strong!

    Way to go bro. That's awsome, and encouraging to hear. Thanks for posting. I'm on day 4 and the brain dog and depression are finally going. Also, girls laugh at my jokes now!!!

    I'm approaching day 30 tomorrow, and I'm also starting to feel/notice some benefits now. Clarity of mind and in speech, knowing what to say, less anxiety/more confident, more attracted to women around.

    I think I just got out my 2nd flatline period last weekend, will have to see where this goes, but for now I'm feeling quite ok, and wanting more and more to date and meet real women

    Think i'm on day 35. Still a bit of a roller coaster but definite improvement overall. Seems like every other week I hit a low for a few days then come out stronger. Currently hitting a low...no energy, very irritable and horny. Surprised i'm still hit with PMO cravings but just gotta fight through this low ... days 24-32ish I don't think i've ever felt that sharp before. (Confident, positive, energized, no anxiety)

    I recognize the 'roller coaster ride'. Ups and downs still present itself, though not to forget that real life (P free) also will have these, but I suppose less intense on the neurochemical system as this.

    Good to see your positive and feel sharp. Keep it going, each hurdle we take will make more and more clear to our brain we're not gonna go back to the old (PMO) state. Eventually then it will give in!

    Thanks everyone, great comments and insights. Indeed, not having PMO as an outlet anymore allows us to pour our souls into everything else we do, and the results are always much better. The sacrifices in life will always give more than they take. Stay strong guys and never give up.
