After your flatline, are you "cured"?

    Hello everyone . I'm going through a complete flatline and I was wondering if I can expect to be pretty much set and rewired once my flatline is over.

    no from my knowledge it means your brain has become more sensitive to the natural world however you likely will still have sensitised addiction pathways.

    I don't think so. Many report different periods. Some periods flatline, some periods urges. Just try to embrace the flat line for now, but be on your guard for when the urges hit. Good luck, and keep strong!

    How do you feel ?
    Why do you think you have flatline ?
    I hear about this word a lot, but I don't really know how one feels on a flatline.

    Lack of energy, lack of motivation, little to no erections for any reason. Extreme emotional ups and downs. Sometimes, those super powers you've gained seem to lack and waiver a little. Luckily for me they are just a little shaky, but they thankfully didn't just go away, unlike some ppl on here.

    I would be careful with ever thinking of yourself as 'cured'. In the end, it is hard to measure that in an objective manner. However, the general trend will hopefully be that controlling your compulsive behavior will become easier and easier. But, as @jipjap said, the recovery is not a straight line. There will always be ups and downs. The thing you need to become aware of is that whether you fap or not is always your decision. Even the question of whether or not you will pursue compulsive thoughts can be a decision.

    Yea, I knew cured wasn't the right word, that's why I put quotations around it.
    So after this flatline, there will be a moment of relative peace, mentally soeaking and then I could go right back into another flatline?

    You are never truly cured my friend, as soon as you let that mentality come forth is when you begin to slip.
    Every day is a struggle unfortunately.. but it's worth the benefits.
