      Crazy B!!

      I started cause Rake made me. Started menopause and became a CRAZY B who thought I could beat on my husband over everything weird that happened in our lives. After about 18 months of that I got on TRT. Mood started stabilizing and I was half human. This site had a Transformation Contest and since I was sooo 'fat housewife' mode Rake encouraged me to enter. I had been in a contest at another site more than a year before and was BASHED for 4 months straight and swore I would never even go to another site in my life. When I looked at the pictures we took and realized how bad I looked I signed up. The help and encouragement I found here changed my life forever. I want to be slender but not 'Barbie Doll' skinny. I have come to realize that I can change my body to be what I want. I sleep better the more I work out and my joints feel better. I definitely look a lot younger than my age and as superficial as that sounds I love it.

      Been a gym rat since I was 13 or 14. Its the only hobby I developed that Ive never given up on all these years. Skydiving, shooting, all bore me after a while. Anyway was natural until I was about 26. Did a few cycles and some partials that I had to cut short because of work and other reasons. Then for 8 years.... nothing. Decided to cycle again when I was deployed in late 2013 which is when I got back on FG and I felt awesome. Don't know if I had low Test before that cycle but I sure felt a lot better than I had for a couple of years. So now I do it because I love lifting, keeps me feeling young, and most recently to hopefully do well on stage.

      NICE! I'm hooked too! I feel like I'm missing something on the days I don't go to the gym!

      I do it because there is nothing else like it. I worked out for a while, found PH's and knew instantly that I was gonna go all the way. I love to push myself to the extreme and this lets me push myself farther. I love the feeling, the look, the brotherhood, the attention from women. I love it all. The thing that keeps me coming back day after day is the feeling I get in the gym. When I walk in half deflated and watch myself turn into a monster during the session and the adrenalin is pumping and the music is pumping. Not much better.

      I do it because I'm a recovering addict..been clean for almost 4 years. This is just my new addiction I guess. It may sound dumb but I feel it's better than putting shit up my nose every other night and honestly I've never looked or felt better in my whole life. I believe bodybuilding saved me and I'm never going back. Besides, there is no better high for me than standing on stage in the bright lights looking like a freaking Greek god

      Addiction seems to me a strange thing. I believe it is important understand yourself and what is good for you. I am addicted to many things at this point in my life. I am addicted to my wife's love. I am addicted to daily fiber, Vitamins, water, coffee, showers, protein, and many other things that I believe are good for me. I was on a lot of narcotics until I started TRT and my life is great. Be addicted my friend just make sure your addictions make you better.
      The Best Thing About TRT Is The Cycle Never Ends.

      That is so awesome pitch9372 that you have been sober for 4 years. I am also a recovering addict from stupid Opioid's. I have been sober now for about 6 years. So keep up the great work and go to the gym when you have that trigger or sadness and it will help get your natural endorphins going. Bodybuilding has saved me and helped me through many rough times in my life so far. I also have 2 little boys that I have 50 percent custody of that keep me on the straight and narrow. I am super proud of you. One day at a time.
      thanks for sharing your story.
