First time attempting to reboot w/o a GF

So I just broke up with my last GF(for lack of a better word). Not because of anything PMO related, but I guess we're just on a break. This will be my first time attempting the reboot process without orgasming, even with a girl. My longest streak was about 2 and a half weeks. Is it just me or is the flat line ALOT more early and pronounced in the first couple of days, now that I don't really have a goal of intimacy at the end of a week?
I'm trying to stay away from porn mainly. So in connection I'm staying away from weed, since smoking weed usually led to porn which usually let to jacking off.

I really want to take this time to work on me before starting anything up with someone again.

Should I expect a different experience this time?
How long does this last? And how long is it recommended before I start dating/having sex again?

Whats the best way to fight urges?

Thanks in advance, guys.

 

thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure I remember the old me. Hopefully it all comes back.
