I was trying to get recon too.
Here was my line of thinking
You need to know what’s the worst that could happen in an controlled situation so that you can be better prepared when it hit you out of nowhere.
It’s like going through a gas chamber training in the military. The idea is to get you accustomed to the effect when you are in a safe space. You don’t want the first time you get exposed to the gas to be in the battlefield.
I tried it with DRLD, it wasn’t that bad.
I tried it again with WB, regretted it immediately.
The recon helped me learn a lot about myself, about how i would react to it, how to mitigate and deal with it. But that was way more than i prepared for.
I have a whole thread and journal documenting my experiments with recon. What i tried and what i found working.
After going through all of that, here are what i got:
-
Take it slow. Start from microloop and don’t shy away from rest days. Those will give you the best results.
-
Seek out clarity. do deep introspections and journaling. Other recon reducing techniques like drinking a lot of water, sunlight exposure, eating sweet food, working out etc only work temporarily.
-
Take action. It will give you more confirmations on top of NSE and other effects from the sub. Which will help your process of reconciliation.
In the end, i came to the same 3 advise that others have been repeating over and over again here. Take it slow, take action, and journal.
I think it’s not worth it to seek recon. Just let the subs take its course and if you get recon, do those 3 things.
