I hate flatline.

@Omniman911 Why do you hate it? That is the sign that you are recovering.

 

why do you hate it? do you want urges and to relapse? i like flatlines because i dont have urges so chances to relapse has gone down by alot... i dont get it..

 

I am in a flatline now. Probably my third of the reboot. At 17 days, It's gonna happen and it's gonna keep happening to you sir. I'm gonna say I don't like them either. At all. Especially the low will power and very strong angry/sad feelings that always accompany the flatline. However, I continue through it because it is a necessary evil. I know this. Its like the bad taste of broccoli or eggplant or whatever veggie you really don't like. You must go THROUGH this difficult, unenjoyable section of time to reap benefits later in time.

 

flatlines are scary because you're once horny mind has been changed to one that isn't interested in sex at all. And you think it's permanent! I hope not...

 

Looking back now I LOVE the flatline. Ha ha. If it wasn't for flatlining I would of never successfully soldier on and cruise reboot/rewire. For anyone going through this why yes it sucks and it is frustrating and scary at times. Don't fret. Embrace this time as it would be one of the most peaceful moments.

What sucks about the flatline is if you meet someone and you have to hold back. Then time drags on and you couldn't carry things forward making you look like someone who couldn't lead. Yeah that sucks if you come into that moment.

 

When it is all over and that day will come you will end up with a third leg. LOL.

 

hmm, never thought about that, also that means I am not as horny?

 

Depends on the individual. 90 days in my opinion is some unofficial standard but not definite. Even though my urges came back during that time it was manageable. Compared to now. From day 1 to day 90 in my reboot/rewire I was able to fight off urges around days 80 to 90. Now? When those urges pop up there is a hard on to go with it. Ha ha. Much tougher to put on the brakes so you better have the willpower and discipline.

 

There are lots of factors and everyone is unique. It could be 6-9 months, who knows?
