Quick question about regrowth

So recently, I’ve discovered that I’ve been doing this subconsciously to my beard for like 2-3 years daily. Just felt good and stimulating so that’s why I did it. I’m aware of it now and trying cut it out as much as possible (even though it feels soooo good)

My question is how cooked are my follicles. Will they never start again/ damaged forever? I see different things so just wanted to know
