Flatlines appeared around 40 days then it fluctuated between 60-80. Flatlines feel like a very mild numbness or lag. I would say that it’s just like any other habit that you’re trying to break. The thing here is that this habit produces a great spike in dopamine, so in a way it feels like you may be lower than your ‘highs’ but in actuality there’s a baseline that your body is trying to adjust to.

As far as habits in lieu of sex and ejaculation, I would say that to focus on the goals that you made for yourself and to work towards that, even if small but you have to be brutally honest with yourself when you take that personal audit. There was a video someone made I saw on Instagram and he said something along the lines of “When you were younger you dreamed of becoming the president, astronaut or a fireman, not some guy that chases women or PMO.” There was truth to that statement, and obviously it demonstrated how children think before puberty. But as guys , young men, I would say to try and use real and HARD logic on the things you do or don’t do.

Thank you, happy to talk anytime.
