Ok, so this is the first post I'm making on this subreddit but I have lurked for a while. See me (call me M that's what my friends call me) and my best friend Scott are really into Reddit. He told me about this subreddit and i liked the sound of it but one of my other friends Josh, who I have come to find out is strictly a Beta, says its for a bunch of pigs. After reading a bit however I decided I agree with most of the doctrine and would like to try to emulate it in my own life. However, every time I try to start, something always knocks me back down. Are there any helpful tips any successful Alpha can give me? Or am I just destined to be this way?
