I wrote this yesterday I think, but it's pretty much what I always say to newbs in the B/P vicious circle.....
"Like Teddy02 above, it was over 50 year's of hiding and going through the cycle. Must have cost me more than a few hundred £.
There was zero to learn back in the 70's and so us oldies are in the same place for feeling guilty/dirty/abhorrent/wrong all with the self loathing and self disrespect that went/goes with the purges.
I and MANY like me here on Adisc have found a friend and confidant in reading others life stories.
There's enlightenment to be found and an understanding that the B/P cycle is a fairly normal response, not only to AB/DL BUT so many other things in life.
IT'S A THING, get used to it, NO ONE GETS HURT BY IT, only OTHER PEOPLE'S so called morals.
I have known a few people who have much deeper and darker and downright weird (compared to ABDL!) things going on and they seem to accept themselves and would never dream of harming anyone else with it.
Simply KNOW you will be back. Allow that to remain a neutral thought if not a positive one. DON'T purge, pack it all away and KNOW it's there.
You are NOT doing ANYTHING illegal, just bizarre as my friends would say
We all need a little bizarre in our lives
