    I’ve been abstaining from porn for about 1.5 years now. I haven’t cured my pied yet because I’ve been in the dreaded flatline for over a year. My question to you guys is, do you think that there’s any chance smoking weed and stuff is slowing down my reboot or making the flatline worse? Whenever I smoke I get increased anxiety which I think is due to my dopamine levels being all messed up from the flatline. Plz let me know what you think, thank you.

    I think if you’ve been abstaining for that long you most likely have something else to address. Maybe weed is that something, maybe not. But that’s great that you have abstained for so long, that should be enough to rewire but I’m no expert

    idk i smoke heavy, daily and it doesn't effect my progress of benefits. that i know of. all i know is once i kicked cigarettes and just stuck to week. my breathing got better. smoking weed is still bad for the lungs though. not as bad as cigarettes.

    Ok if it’s daily it may effect recovery. If I were you, I would at least try to cut it back to 1-2 times a week but what do I know

    Drugs, even weed, which i personally do not consider a heavy or dangerous drug, can have adverse effects on you body, if you can handle it, try going a week without smoking and see what happens, then you may know.

    might be best for you to quit but if you don’t want to maybe try reducing it to help with NoFap progress

    The marijuana is most definitely causing your issues. I think if you were to stop smoking weed then the flatline and any other issues would subside. It only took me 1 year to reboot after a 10 year porn addiction (before I unfortunately relapsed)

    I think after 1 year your body would be fully recovered, unless you're a vegetarian or eating junk food all the time

    Bro that’s amazing tho. It’s probable your next flatlines are wayyyy shorter bc of how much positive rewiring you did. I know how you feel tho I just broke a 4 month hard mode streak

    One point to adress - watch out for street weed, get it from a reliable, clean source. The weed might be fine, but the chemial cannabinoids they add to it might mess up everything and have sideffects
