    I woke up today without morning wood. A bit concerned but deep down, I know I shouldn’t be. I quickly acknowledged that I could well be going through the flatline phase. Urrgh!

    Last time I had a flatline during my first streak of 13 days. I had done just over a week of NoFap by that stage. I felt that my manhood was no longer functioning the way it should be. This tempted me to look at adult content again. I initially did this to test the waters downstairs. Yeah, it got me aroused, but then inevitable happened with having a relapse.

    In the relapse, my cock was harder than I thought it would be. It was as hard as when I had my last sexual encounter. But then came (pardon a pun) a heavy and thick ejaculation due to how much semen was stored and developed over time. Even after I came, my cock was still hard. Signs that it was recovering – but that isn’t the point.

    The Flatline period lead to the relapse. As difficult as it is, the FL is a sign that change is happening in my brain more than in my manhood. Clearing up the brain fog after years of being exposed to pornographic content. I’m going through a transition period. There is light at the end of this dark tunnel.

    Now, why am I doing NoFap again? What can I benefit from doing this? What positive changes and impacts has it made for me already? These are the things I ask and remind myself of why I’m doing NoFap in the first place.

    So, instead of testing the waters of my manhood. I just need to keep myself busy and pre-occupied to forget about it and stop thinking about it. From previous experience, boredom can also lead to relapses as well.

    Well, I’ve got my bedroom to finish sorting out. After doing most the work yesterday, there’s not as much to do today and I’m looking forward to getting it done. I won’t dread about it like I did when I made a start on my room yesterday.

    Two trips to the skip today dispose of my rubbish. My car is already full, with the seats folded down to get the crap ready and taken to the tip for a couple of trips. Then clear out the rubbish under my bed, and then sort out some of my drawers to throw away some more rubbish and get it cleared up.

    In the end, I’m going to be a lot happier – I feel so much better already for doing a lot of work in sorting out my room yesterday. Once it’s finished, I’ll be proud to have accomplished this goal on sorting me and my life out.

    I will no longer be ashamed of having people over. I can invite friends over, and they can chill out in my room, watch films and play games with me. Even help me out with writing letters or assignments. I can have girlfriends over and prove that I’m a guy who is responsible and can look after myself.

    Later in the day...

    One positive from NoFap today, has been having the extra time and energy in doing more to sort myself out. My room has finally cleaned and cleared out. I feel refreshed with a clean bill of health and clearer mindset. It's my achievement for today - and I'm very proud of what I've done this weekend – and also gained from doing NoFap.

    I'm practically shouting from the rooftops with pride. Now I'm going to treat myself to a McD's as a reward.

    Flatline or no Flatline...ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!!
