So I shaved off all my hair

by Qcmbr in

..on my head.

in some small way i think i understand one reason for shaving new recruits or prisoners.

as i did it i felt sick in my stomach and it felt like i was losing some of my personality.

i don't and am very unlikely to after seeing my father dying of a smoking related lung disease (even though i would like to try a high quality cigar).. but i am curious to see how many people take up smoking after leaving the org.. .

NomadSoul

I've smoked one but I didn't enjoy it.

The real truth is that you know you've recovered when you stop caring about JW's

it's perhaps sad, but perhaps a bit of wisdom to come to realize how insignificant jws really are.. .

you finally get to the point where you don't even care what happens to the borg one way or another.. .

this said after almost four years..

I don't think anybody really moves on. Even not being on this forum down the line you're going to have a moment where you will feel the need to talk about your experience once again. It's healthy to talk about it even though it doesn't effect you anymore.
