22 weeks (154 days) and a BIG flatline

[57yrold]

Man, this stuff is NOT linear.

22 weeks today of NO PMO. 

Been up and down overall, but this past few weeks has been a huge flatline.  I'm really down.  Very low energy, very low libido, pretty damn depressed.

I guess that's just the way it goes.

Still have ED, but I'm patient and I'll wait.  Gabe took six months, and I'm only at 5.  That being said, I've decided that I will set a date of two years.  October 18, 2019.

If my ED isn't cured by that point, it probably isn't going to be cured.

However, even if it's not, I'm still not going back to PMO.

I think Gabe's reboot was 9 months so you might still have some way to go.

Flatline is a mixed blessing, in my opinion. It's a relief not to have any libido because it reduces my urge to go searching for porn. My energy levels are depleted, I feel like I've got a cold all the time but I don't feel depressed fortunately.

Well done on 22 weeks man! I'm into week 12 and, like you, I have no signs of recovery but I'm not going back to porn! I'm rid of porn for life!

Good luck!

Yeah, wasn't Gabe's recovery somewhere around 9 months?

Was this 9 months hardmode or no?

Gabe had a woman, before, during and after. Plus, I don?t think his PIED was that bad.

Please ai just wish to clarify. While doing nofap, its comlete abstinence. NO porn, No Masturbation and No Orgasam whatsoever(with or without a partner). I also want to include No sex or any sort of sexual fantasy. All for a period of 3months.

I think there are different levels of 'nofap' or 'rebooting'

Hardmode is no porn, no masturbation, no orgasm, but there are other modes, and everyone has to decide on their goal, then decide what's the best way to get there.
