    Hello guys, hope you’re all keeping well. I want to ask some of you who have been on this journey for a long time about flatlines and how long they last and when they fade out. I’ve been porn free since August 2020 (1 year) and masturbation free since February (6 months). And for the last 6 months or so I feel as though I’ve, mostly, been in a flatline. My morning wood has been non existent during this period of time as have my energy levels. The last 3 months in particular have been rough. My confidence has taken a hit but I will remain patient. I just want to ask some of those who have been on this journey, what to expect. Will my energy levels and confidence come back any time soon? I’ve also had this empty feeling, feeling bored and at times a bit depressed. I sometimes think that because I’ve been feeling like this for so long that maybe this is just me and that is that. But I know that everything will come back and that feel good factor will return to me. The best I felt was around 2 weeks after I quit masturbating for good in February. I had an unbelievable amount of energy and I felt so happy, that is the best thing I could say. My question to you guys is... will that feeling ever come back? Do you guys feel great? I’m patient enough to find out for myself but it has been a really rough patch for me. Any information from you experienced guys would be much appreciated because I feel a bit low at the moment.

    Many thanks

    I may not be the most experienced Fapstronaut, but I do have some experience. All i can say is that the flatline comes and goes (unfortunately), at least for me. I feel its like a roller coaster, you will have ups and downs. But, my hope is that at some point the downs will be less frequent, as I trend to more positive habits, and live a cleaner lifestyle. I think i have learned about myself along this journey...
