Liking the flat line?

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, Sep 14, 2021.

  1. I've come across some members who have expressing their liking to the flatline. I'm curious for what the reason may be? I'm not new to the NoFap however I've not come across anyone who 'enjoys' the flatline phase. Anyone can shed some light to this? Much appreciated

    I enjoy the flatline too. For members who suffer from heavier addiction, flatline is like a big break from everything. No incredible urges, no up and downs, just a stress free period

  3. That is an interesting way to put it. I've been addicted since my early teens (I'm 32) and the flatline sounds like a dark phase from what I've seen on here. Hopefully I can see it like you do and just let the phase come and pass. Thanks
     
  4. Clearly you're not a heavy addict

    Sounds good. Then it means healing period without any troubles.

    You can’t know if I am a addict or not. I prefer to feel nothing, no happiness and to be numb during the flatline than to experience these incredible urges, millions of porn related intrusive thoughts, the constant emotional up and downs from happiness to depression and vice versa.
    To walking like a zomby and feeling nothing is vacation for me in comparison with all the anxiety, depressions, compulsions, urges which drive me crazy

  7. For me I would say intense stress / desire to feel something. Though nothing negative.

    Its sort of a relief, not getting urges to pmo and all. But on the long run, its a terrible experience. You get easily irritated, frustrated and morale is always low.

  10. If you're not experienced paws or sexual exhaustion which last 18 months+ to heal, you're not extreme case.

    Because after flatline you get urges you are horny and etc. The fact that during flatline your brain is healing keeps me going further on this nofap journey.

    It is a love/hate relationship with the flatline for me. As you get further and further into your streak the flatline becomes less and less severe. However the urges that finally follow are extremely difficult to manage. They have had me up until early hours of the morning on a good few occassions.
