    Hi!

    Im 23 yo, and im over 310 days no PM. I can feel a lot of benefits, like more self-confident, better in manage feelings, healthier lifestyle. But I have this feeling: I dont feel the "real happiness", someone call it flatline, or anhedonia, I dont know, its not clear for me, what is the exact difference between these. So I dont feel my real self, I can read on the internet what anhedonia means, the overstimulated brain by porn can occur, the number of dopamine receptors reduce, I can feel real feelings the most of the time, and when I feel something, its very weak yet. I have a worse memory than before nofap, so its also because of the low dopamine, I dont feel my creativity, my real motivation, etc... My PIED has gone, I have good sexual experiences, but I dont feel really good.

    So this is the question: are my dopamine receptors recover? And what time does it need? Will I be completely normal, like before PMO addiction? (im addicted like 8-9 years, 3-4 PMO/day, so I need time to recover I know, just I need some motivation Im on the right path, and will it be better?)

    Can't tell you 100% but i'm sure you're in the right path.
    Try to improve your diet as it helps a LOT. (helped me at least).
    Also write down your goals so you have a clear vision of the things you want, this may help you with motivation.
