    Day 75 here.

    Sigh. So it's that time of the year again. Huh. Those unwanted byproducts of nofap- the flatline. That period literally consisting of flat emotion flat libido, flat socialization, flat motivation, flat everything in life.

    I'm not here to rant much. But I just wanted to share this with those who may anticipate (/be going through /already have gone through) these so called flatlines.

    At first, I was worried because my moods kept staying down for longer periods. I've also been getting very weird dreams lately, and consecutively with a few were wet dreams here and there. Although I'm not entirely sure if having wet dreams is connected to the flatline.

    But yeah, I don't have that much to say about flatlines except that it kinda sucks.

    Do feel free to talk to me here in this thread or pm. I hope we can establish some good support in case there are those of you going through the "same stuff diff day" routine. I know it is a natural process, (most likely) but it is almost dreadful. And please let me know how you guys deal with flatline days as well,,

    It takes extra effort to get rolling, but it is a great time to go to work on relationship formation. Meeting and getting to know girls is never easy, but in this condition, you can do it without feeling the need to move into something sexual with somebody you haven't gotten to know yet. Today girls are not sexual objects for you. Taking advantage of that will bless your future and can shorten your time in flatline. As you add dimensions to your life, you discover that it is not a dull, flat life.
    Enjoy your flatline by taking advantage of its opportunities.

    Enjoy it by going to work while you are free of urges and distractions. As dull as it feels to you, it really is a wonderful opportunity to lay the groundworks for a great future.
    Your self, mind and body, is realizing that it isn't going to get its regular dopamine hits. It is trying to convince you that life without PMO is no life at all, so you will go back to your old ways. There are 2 ways to win.
    One option is to survive; in a few weeks, your flatline will fade into another round of urges, and you will fight them again.
    The other option is to win, by taking advantage of your opportunity to actively take your life to a new level where your real life is exciting, where you don't need porn to survive each day. Your days are full of life free of the need to escape from it.
    The losing option is to panic and PMO, to see if you still can function. After the quick ejaculation, you may feel so depressed that it may take hours serious binging before you can face your pillow, and days or weeks before you can return here with your news of starting over.
    I have confidence that you are stronger than that and will resist.
    I hope that you will win, and we can all celebrate.
