In this monologue, Dallas Bragg describes the emotional aftermath of ending chemsex behaviors. He outlines how individuals often clean out digital traces—deleting apps, muting contacts, changing phone numbers—only to find themselves standing in a void that feels more like grief than relief. Bragg introduces the concept of “liminal space,” a transitional threshold between the old life and the new, likening it to a doorway that is uncomfortable but not a failure. He emphasizes that this in‑between state, rooted in the Latin word limen (threshold), is the most teachable moment for personal growth, offering a chance to reflect and learn before stepping into a new chapter.

Chapters

So for you, maybe you've cleaned out the drawer, you've deleted your apps, you've muted the guys, you changed your number. Maybe you did all that, and now you're standing in the middle of your own life, staring at the space where all of that used to live, and you're feeling something closer to grief than a relief. You've walked into what researchers and contemplatives call liminal space, and that is supposed to feel exactly like grief. This uncomfortable. It's a threshold. It's not a failure. So this word liminal comes from the Latin limen, which means threshold. It's a doorway moment. It's that place between the room you left and the one you haven't entered yet. This space between the old world behind you and the new one not entered is actually the most teachable space we will ever inhabit.
