    Relapsed after day 17. My best record in a while. In total I've been PMO free now 27 out of the last 30 days, which I'm happy with.

    It was a really stupid way to relapse, starting doubting things cause of the flatline I assume.

    Kept telling myself that I had been fantasizing too much or even looked too much at some woman online, completely SFW of course.

    Convinced myself the best way was to start over, when it clearly was just to alter my ways and continue, my goal was no PMO and I didn't break any of it, yet my brain keeps telling me I should restart. Rookie mistake.

    I'm already well on my way for my new record though.


    QUESTION:
    So my reason for making this thread is something I heard a while back.
    I heard that if you relapse during the flatline it makes it worse, and going straight back into nofap is bad. No in my eyes this seems extremelly stupid, I'm not sure why it should make a difference, but I just thought I'd ask here

    That doesn't add up chief, the less porn the better, period. Don't let your mind convince you to relapse over things that ultimately make no sense. My advice, don't even try to argue with yourself, simply walk away and do something else while your brain cools down.

    I lost count how many times my mind would trick me into relapsing during flatline stages.

    Overtime and with enough experience, i just learned to embrace it.

    because during this period, your dick just feels dead and you have absolutely no drive to PMO - which is a good thing.

    you just have to take advantage of these moments and channel the energy towards working on yourself and keeping yourself busy with other productive tasks.
