Dallas Bragg argues relapse isn't sudden but a cascade of small decisions he calls dominoes, starting days before. Clicking the app icon is the real relapse moment, not what happens after. Waiting until many dominoes have fallen means it's too late to stop.
You know, I have guys tell me, well, the decision to relapse happened in like 2 seconds. I had no time to do anything about it. This after telling me the decision happened while on Grindr having conversations. So my response to them and to you is, your relapse happened the second you clicked on that app icon. No relapse happens in a vacuum. There are always what I call dominoes that begin to fall, sometimes days in advance. And if you wait until too many dominoes have fallen, it is too late. Waiting until you're on Grindr having a conversation with a tease user is way too late.
