How do you know you are completely healed?

Hey man, my story is pretty much exactly the same as you. My penis also died about week 1.5 - 2. I felt that I almost came out of the flatline about 2 - 3 weeks ago with my penis starting to behave almost normally in terms of erections. It wasn't back to normal, but I'm sure it would have been good enough for sex. But I went back into flatline again shortly after. I'm almost at 90 days and things have gotten better. but I think as you said it will take much longer to heal.

 

In my 90 days reboot i had the best improvements between days 75 and 80. On day 75 i was feeling like shit, on day 80 i had the best sexual experience of my life

 

It's really good to know that things can turn around for the better just around the next corner.

 

Be real with yourself you are just over half way there, don't get destination fever and get complacent. You've had a lot of good so far let the next half of the reboot do it's thing. At the end of 90 days of a full honest reboot you should revisit this question.

This isn't to undermine your achievement so far. Over 50 days is excellent and you should be proud of what you've done so far, just stay strong.

 

When you can be comfortable with your own company over the course of a long evening...
.....even if it is a bit tedious at times...
When you are not compelled to escape from yourself.....
When you are satisfied with a cup of tea and not a snickers bar....
When you can read through a chapter of a book... or even just one page... slowly...
When you can tolerate the choral music of Palestrina playing quietly in the corner for two hours....
When you can stay away from here for two hours....
When you can tolerate a dullness in your head...
... without the need for a stimulant....
When you can give some forethought to the future and ponder the past...
....without wanting to distract yourself...
........ and what is more you will be a man.

 

I'm at 70 days. Even if I feel like I am on the right track, I feel that 90 days will not be enough. I may need 120+ days to be completely healed.

ED is almost cured though.

 

This is beautiful.

 

Look, I don't know alot about this flatline since I am rebooting with a partner but; the flatline seems to be just a lack in arousal, not necessarily in functionality of the penis. So if you date after your reboot I assume the sexual situation will be arousing enough per se?

Maybe some other people can share their experiences

 

No. I still have many problem in my life like anxiety and others BUT i look at what i've done in the last 6 month and it seems amazing:i changed a job that i hate for one that i like and i have a girlfriend now. 6 month ago this was unthinkable.

 

You know you’re completely healed when your desire to search for porn aren’t as strong anymore. When you hug/cuddle your girlfriend and you start getting an erection, when you no longer fear being naked with a woman because you know your dick is not only going to get up but remain up. When you wake up in the early morning and you have a rock solid morning wood, granted I’ve come to learn not all guys have morning wood and it might not be correlated to anything but for me it was.

These were all the things I noticed that have led me to consider myself as fully healed.

 

How long did it take you, brother ? How long did your addiction last?

 

Im on my third week without PMO after a brief 2.5 weeks MO/PMO and i dont feel much progress, its like im recovering but at the same time im getting worse. And im not concerned about sexual side effects but emotional ones.

 

Mine was from 13-20 (7 yrs.)

 

Ok, so you were a young guy. I started much later. Aside from a wank here or there in my late teens. It's when the internet happened and I could find my fetish instantly, is when it became a problem. And I never thought it was, I just figured I'd struck gold. Hahahaha!!! If we only knew earlier the damage to our brains....

 

But i ask you, does that mean that in actual sex less dopamine is released or the same as PMO?

 

Absolutely I remember when I got my first computer in my room as a 13 year old...at first I thought I struck gold too with access to anything I wanted, looking back it was the worst thing that could have happened to me. I’m so against children having computers in their rooms now, especially boys and their raging hormones that if I ever have a son he’s not getting any computer in his room lol.
