When do you know when you are recovered?

It seems like everyone takes drastically different amounts of time to recover.  The thing is, how does one know when they are recovered?  Is it just the fact of being able to get hard for a woman?  Because I can already do that, but I highly doubt that means that after 2 weeks that I have recovered from my porn addiction. 

Or is it that people are recovered when they finally emerge from their flatlines?

When I quit smoking 3 years ago, I just quit.  I don't think I ever fully recovered from my nicotine addiction, or that I ever will because although I don't want to smoke anymore, I still need to be careful to make sure I don't.  But this addiction seems a bit different because although I am abstaining from orgasms now, I plan on having them with my partner in the future.  So how will I know when it's ok to do that?  Of course I am planning on never watching porn again, and perhaps I may not even masturbate again.  But so far, those two things have been pretty easy to abstain from. 

Do you guys have any solid definitions for what it means to be recovered?

Thanks!
 
Well, I don't really think there is a line which defines, once crossed, whether or not you're recovered. Personally, I considered myself "cured" when I was able to have sex without any ED or PE problems but, funnily enough, the cravings for porn use dissipated after barely a week of no PMO. It really depends on the person.
