    Hi, sounds like you are possibly back in a flatline. It will pass. In the next phase, your urges are going to be the worst they've ever been but they'll never get worse than that so the real training ground is coming up. Keep yourself busy, avoid triggers, keep your mind focused on life and try to just not think about pmo or nofap. If you make it through the next month, you'll notice that you will start to get used to the urges. This is the goal. You can get used to anything if you keep your thoughts elsewhere. Embrace them, become accustomed to them, they are symptoms of manliness.

    Day 34/45
    Finished my project.
    Finished my goal of a month of strict diet. Tonight I'm going to a restaurant to celebrate and have same nice food and wine, this weekend I will relax and eat whatever I want.
    I feel weird now that my plans are finished, but that just means it's time to make some new plans!
    Staying aware and keeping up my guard, especially tonight after drinking wine!

    Good job putting down the phone. You are changing to be the master of yourself!

    Preparation is half the battle. You are doing good, you know your triggers and you are keeping the guard up.

    Congratulations! Now you have proven to yourself that you can do it! To new horisons!

    Yes! Great! Have a new plan ready after tomorrow, so you don't give in immediately. Let's go for 10 days!

    Hi, that is how it works in flatline. Flatline means low or no urges. It varies with each guy but in general, you won't have morning wood and maybe hardly any erections or no erections for a few days. You might also be tired, a little glum or depressed, moody. You might have headaches, etc. What you are going through is dopamine withdrawal. It's a great sign and it will pass in a few days. Chocolate helps and the other things you say you are doing will help. Believe me, when the flatline ends, you'll enter the next stage that I described above and the urges will suddenly resurface. However, your first benefits will also appear.

    Thanks, for alerting me before only. I won't allow my urges overpower me this month. Yes i may be in flatline as i have 0 urges, when i see a girl i just try not to think about it , just ignore it. But i have anxiety i.e headaches and sometimes i dont feel to do anything. But i have improved a lot. Just this anxiety thing will get over i will be superman :p

    I am making this my signature as this will surely motivate me. Thanks a lot for enlightening me with this. Was totally unaware of this. Looking for more advice in future.

    Yes! Feeling good. Tomorrow will be a busy day, so that’s good. I feel strong at the moment, BUT I know from experience that this can change in a moment.
    Impressive! You make it look like if it’s easy, altough I know it’s absolutely not. Don’t let your guards down and keeping doing what you’re doing now!
    One day left. Really good. You’ve been struggling a bit the last weeks as far as I can see, but this time you don’t give in after a few days. Keep going!

    It's been a long 3 weeks of hiatus since I took time to chase my studies. I fell back into my old rut of PMO, and lost almost all will to change. My mind kept telling me that change was not going to be possible, and I gave in to the lies. Fast forward 2 and a half weeks; I meet possibly the most amazing person in the world, and she makes me believe in myself again. Where I once gave up because I honestly believed that physical love and intimacy was something I wasn't going to achieve, I have seen the light so to speak. I have an amazing girlfriend who cares about who I am as a person, and the will to make her happy is far stronger than the will to watch porn. Where before it was just me, now I have someone else that I have made a pledge to remain faithful to. Porn is cheating with the eyes, and being faithful to my partner far outranks any petty desires I have. She has shown me what true love is, and I know I can get this done with her support. 2 days until I beat my streak, and I haven't had so much as a temptation to watch porn. 5 more days and I meet my next goal. Here's to NoFap attempt #2
