Is this relapse set me back far?

    Ok so I relapsed after long streak, I can't tell by days because I don't count them but am sure that I was like 6 months on this journey. So yeah my question is: Is my all progress gone or how far it sets me back? I'm asking you all this because I relapsed without help of porn, fantasy, I just MO'ed and also i stopped ejaculation by help of kegel muscles.

    No, I don't think so. The health benefits stay with you and in your case it's a reset and not a relapse - relapse is when you watch P.
    I'm pretty sure you're on the safe side and you can continue on :)

    I think not at all if there was no link to P or fantasy induced by P. If you ejaculated, then it's a restart for semen retention, but I don't think all progress is lost, I agree with you that it's not about the day count but about the overall lifestyle..

    I believe too that i haven't lost any progress i relapsed only once. And also i managed to hold in ejaculation by kegel muscles, only felt orgasm(i don't know if this does reset semen retention). I will try not to binge for next 3-4 days and see how it goes. Thanks for helping ;)

    Well your dopamine receptors will heal if am not mistaken during flatline phase, nothing to worry about. Can you define that feeling that you call weird?

    Does this mean it’s a reset now. Does it mean I will start having abit of anxiety and all the bollox again and groggyness

    Sadly yes it is reset for brain, at first you will start having anxiety, but it will go off faster if you keep the streak going.

    So I might aswell finish myself off now that it’s a full reset? Becuase the anxiety will
    Come again
