How do you know that you have rebooted?

Iam new to nofap. 43 yrs old and married with kids. have masturbated for 25+ years.

my main motivation to join nofap is to completely stop masturbating (if it's even possible) and most importantly to become a better version of myself. When i go out and meet woman, i want those crazy thoughts (trying to fantasize) to stop. i don't want to objectify women and slowly work on ignoring the triggers.

i have gone 6 months or so without watching porn , but i have never stopped masturbating for more than a week.

i want to know how you will know you have been rebooted? What should i watch for?
Also, i have consciously decided to have orgasms to make sure i have some sanity left and to keep my wife from suspecting something. Like every other married guy , it happens once in a blue moon, so it's just normal.

Will having orgasms or not having retention affect time to reboot.?

thanks in advance!!
