Day 7 - Flatline

Hey everyone, I’m on day 7 and suddenly started feeling numb, my motivation dropped, and I’m not even getting strong urges to watch porn or have sex. I wanted to give a heads up to anyone around this point because this is a stage I think is misinterpreted. I think many people think sex drive and motivation will start coming back after the first couple of weeks of quitting, but many people actually flatline before this point. This happens between days 5-10 for most people and urges will slow down and so will emotional highs. I did a good amount of research on this stage and my main advice is to not let your guard down just because the urges aren’t hitting hard right now. A lot of people say they come back fast and strong once this phase passes. That’s when it’s easy to slip. So yeah, if you’re feeling low or just off around this time, you’re not broken, it’s just part of it. Stay strong everyone. Let’s keep going.
