I'm officially 22 days into no pern, but just started an official nofap reboot yesterday. My mind is all over the place and no fapping, well that's harder to give up than pern! I used the panic button, and it was really helpful. Does anyone know why 90 days seems to be the usual baseline? How do you ultimately know you have reset? When's the madness and shrinkage end?
Great job on your days man! Keep it up! I'm on day 31 and it gets wayyyyy better, trust me man. But I just wanted to insight you on why it takes 90 days to cure, apparently it has something to do with your D2 (or dopamine) receptors in your brain. When you watch porn and masturbate regularly you often release D2 receptors which is linked to testosterone and it is the chemical that kinda helps you be you, but if you PMO everyday you greatly deplete the D2 receptors over time. So ultimately it takes about 3 months (90 Days) for it to fully recover and perform at 'normal' level, which is what gives you your motivation back. Good luck in the future and I hoped I helped you!
Varthix, Thanks for the reply. That is good to know so now I know I'm not just shooting for a number, but that there is purpose behind it. Thanks again! Did you guys also give up eye candy as well? I.e. Instagram and all that?
