new fapstronaut, with questions about the benefits of nofap.

so i started at 2nd jan, and has been a week with nofap, but after that, I slipped up and fapped once the day after my first week. i'm not a porn addict and it's totally under control and i fapped when i was bored and stuff. however I read up on the benefits of nofap... and i'm curious.. does ejaculating once reset the entire cycle? so if I was to jack off once after a month and continue nofap after, would the cycle of benefits be reset and i'd have to start from the first point?
