Enjoying Flatline

I haven't ever experienced this so-called 'flatline' yet, and I doubt I ever will. I don't think I'd mind it, but I do think it could easily lead to relapse. Thinking to myself "I'll try to watch porn, to see if I'll get an erection then." Of course that wouldn't end well.

 

You can also use your flatline time to get more social. You can form asexual relationships and talk more honestly when you are not trolling.

 

That is a big lesson.
In flatline, it is your brain, not your body, that is rebooting. Your plumbing is not broken and will react physically to stimulation, so you avoid that. Testing it out did set your reboot back, but it also gave you some understanding and the opportunity to do it right this time. Best of luck this time with getting the most out of this stage of healing.

 

I like to flat lining too. Much better than porn urges.

Dead dick means your recovering but is scary when you don't know what it means.

 

Flatline is like a blessing and a curse it's great not having any urges like you can focus on so much get so much done just have to get the motivation going and anything is possible the curse in my case since I'm really confident and a lot better shape I can get with a girl just I can't sleep with them as I know nothing will respond while I deal with this

 

Be aware,when the urges hit,they hit HARD
I was enjoing Mine too,And then BANG!


One night the urge came back Like a owl diving into a rat

I was doped by the urge


And relapsed

 

Watch out rats, I'm coming, haha!

 

I've experienced it before during a stretch, and experiencing it right now again. I guess it is more a state of mind that dictates how flatline behaves. I've found that the more you dive into active recovery (not just tying your hand above your neck) which involves: thinking, hearing stories, reading about negative effects, going to meetings and hanging around forums like this one, etc. - the more you'll hit flatline. BUT, it also has to do with your general mood. My girlfriend left for the summer, and we agreed not to talk for a month while I'm on recovery. We'll see each other after 1 month for two days, no sex. Then I won't see her until August. It's sad, and lonely, but it kicked me right into flatline - which I harnessed to press even harder with all the elements of active recovery.

I am quite happy, to say the least. Not because of the days under my belt, but because of the amounts of energy I'm channeling to educate myself, analyze my choices, understand my love for her, and decide what it is that I want to be after the summer's over. Kind of like a porn binge of hours every day, but on the other direction. More time for myself, better results I guess.

Keep going strong, and appreciate the blessed flatline.

 

It is a great opportunity to become who you want to be far beyond just having given up PMO. You have brought your grades up, you are going out with friends. You are listening to others and helping them. Since you are exercising more and eating better, others are commenting on how good you are looking. Flatline is our opportunity.

 

Flatline is good , since it is proof that you're healing.
However, lack of motivation and tiredness just wears you off.
And also, you feel frustrated because you have no erections, you have zero libido and you feel totally asexual.
Something which damaged in 10 years cannot be repaired in 10 days or 10 weeks , I know that but Still my human monkey brain wants quick results.
Just hang in there brother, there is success at the end of tunnel, flatline will eventually get over and the more you abstain from edging/touching your penis/testing your penis, the more you are going to heal.
Im also experiencing flatline although my withdrawal symptoms are not that severe like it was in my 1st reboot , but i still feel tiredness, and no motivation and sometimess irritable behaviour and anger but they go away pretty soon but tiredness and no motivation is like constant and I just feel like doing nothing but laying in bed whole day.
I am also expecting that someday my libido will come back, i will have stronger harder erections once flatline gets over.
God bless us and all the dudes who are doing nofap,
I fear orgasms more than nuclear bombs, Nukes will kill you once but orgasms will kill you minute by minute everyday.
I fear touching my penis, I fear getting excited too much by fantasizing and I stop immediately since I know that can delay my recovery.
Only regret I have is why I did not find this forum earlier, I would have been a successful alpha male by now.
Anyways, its never too late to start, it was a lesson for life and I will never ever go back to my old habits of PMO,
Just hang in there, there is for sure success after flatline.
