    Do not go back to pmo... I think you'll overcome it with time. I have given myself 12 months to reboot successfully.

    Any updates?

    I'm in the flatline since day 1 crew as well. Here's my timeline so far:

    Day 1-9: Not much to report, no libido, no urges
    Day 10: Withdrawals hit hard - depression, anxiety, can't eat, can't sleep
    Day 11-19: Withdrawals getting worse and worse by the day, feeling almost suicidal by the end
    Day 20: Couldn't handle the withdrawals anymore and RELAPSED. 4 Times in one day :(

    Day 1: Withdrawals gone, small urge to watch porn
    Day 2: Nothing to report
    Day 3-8: Withdrawals back, not quite as bad as before but back
    Day 9: Withdrawals starting to subside
    Day 10-19: Nothing to report
    Day 20: First nocturnal erection
    Day 21-33: Nocturnal erections almost every night that got progressively stronger and more consistent; peaking at day 30 where I literally seemed to be rock hard for hours on end
    Day 34: First wet dream of my life
    Day 35-40: Withdrawals back and nocturnal erections gone completely


    Not sure if it's just a coincidence that my nocturnal/morning wood disappeared and withdrawals came back after the wet dream? I should add that I don't have the classic flatline "dead dick" symptom but just have zero sexual urges. Really hope nofap can fix this!

    An update on the above, some good news and some bad ...

    Day 41-45: Nothing to report
    Day 46: 2nd wet dream - I felt dizzy and groggy after the 1st one but this time I felt fine
    Day 47-51: Nothing to report, still no urges or desire for anything
    Day 52-57: Still no urges at this point but vivid sexual dreams pretty much every night, most of them about porn stars/cam girls I used to watch :/
    Day 58: Some slight feeling of libido and tempting thoughts of porn for the first time
    Day 59-62: Libido getting stronger, hard erections with actual "horniness" behind them. Thoughts of porn running through my mind for hours at a time every day.
    Day 63: Massive urges to fap in the morning that I somehow got through. Then whilst innocently scrolling through twitter saw a triggering picture, for the first 60 days this would have had zero effect on me but this time my brain lit up. Got away from the computer and lifted some weights instead but the whole time feeling too horny to really concentrate. Came back inside, managed to resist for a couple of hours until I just had to go back and look at the picture that triggered me, one thing led to another(as it always does) and I relapsed, doh. Of course I then did it again a couple more times over the next 24 hours like a damn addict just to compound things.

    So now I'm back at day 1 and ready to start again. Before this I did a bunch of week long streaks, a 10 day, 20 day and then this 63 day streak so I'm trending in the right direction at least. Only thing is that for all bar the final five days of the last streak I had zero libido and therefore zero urges to contend with. I don't know if the libido will stick around now or I'll flatline again but I'm hoping to get to 90 days this time, being single and with the world in lockdown it's not going to be easy though.

    Well done! So you recovered in two months then! That's great. Just push on and you'll recover again soon enough!

    I recovered in terms of my libido coming back - my libido actually went AWOL in December 2018(!)

    It took me a long while to find out that porn could cause that to happen though, everywhere else outside of nofap/pornfree type forums completely dismiss the link and it's hard not to feel swayed by the overwhelming majority who insist that nofap is a load of nonsense. Eventually I thought I have nothing to lose by giving it a go because it's not like I had any sexual desire at that point anyway. I did relapse a few times early on purely out of habit or frustration but then managed to get on a good streak and stuck to it. I don't know if the smaller streaks added up in any way but yeah it took pretty much two months of complete abstinence(no peeking, edging or any of that crap) for my libido to come back. Unfortunately it was so overwhelming having felt nothing for so long that I relapsed and I now feel myself falling back down into the porn abyss. Nofap is way harder when you're locked indoors and have a newly found sex drive that can't be satisfied, that said I don't really want to go back into flatline either.

    I need a plan to combat this as otherwise I'm going to end up straight back where I started. A week ago I felt like I could go on without porn forever and now just getting past day 1 again is a struggle. I have so much respect for those who manage to stay away from it for so long, I need to find that same willpower from somewhere!

    I completely understand everything you said here! I've been struggling with Nofap for a while now!
    Did you ever experience PIED?

    I could still get hard without porn so I don't think so but I was starting to lose erections easier so maybe I was heading in that direction. The main issue I had was that I just had no desire for anything sexual(whether real or not), that feeling of horniness had just left completely - this happened virtually overnight like a switch had been flicked. I still carried on watching porn for a while not knowing that that could be the reason for my problem, I guess at that point a lot of guys start looking at harder stuff to see if that has any effect but thankfully I found out about nofap before going down that road.

    It's good to have some libido back but of course I can't let it lead straight back to PMO again. I need to get straight back on the wagon now, hopefully these relapses haven't undone two months of abstinence.

    It looks like in most cases when I have to relapse I always have a part I play to fap again. Around March 28th I got a little emotional about an issue and I fapped. But I have decided to start all over. April 1 was day 1. I have decided to cut ties with all my sexual partners. I want to abstain from porn, masturbation, orgasm, and sex for 365 days. If I can go a day without these, then I believe I can go a year too. It's one day at a time.

    Guys lets beat this thing!!

    I started again on April 1st too.

    It's difficult to say for sure but I think my relapses only knocked me back a couple of weeks. I'm having vivid sexual dreams and morning wood so I don't think I'm starting from 0 again, or at least I hope not.
