I have kicked every drug I have ever used except these opiates they are the devil for me!

Just out of curiosity, what made you want to try these things!! Peer pressure? Didn't you realize the possible reprecussions from you actions? I would never even think about risking my health for a quick feel-good!!

as for the quality of the stuff he was gettin, myself being a former cokehead, i would give this stuff a pretty grade. nothing like the shit i used to get from NYC, but for around here, pretty damn good.

as for the money, my family isnt rich. so say theoretically for him to get the money, he would buy 5, turn them into 7, and end up with 2. something like that.

and gearedup, i myself am a recovering coke addict. the reason i say recovering, because you are never not one. i havent touched them in close to a year, but in theory, my brain will alwayz have an addiciton for them.

and cory, everyone has different reasons for trying drugs. my sophmore year in college, i was partying my ass off, sober. i started to have some stress, got drunk one nite, and it was around, so i did it. then from last january till june, i was in a buzz the entire time. there wasnt a day where i did less than a gram, usually more. finally one day, i got so fucked up, stressed, and just let lose. i had lost all motivation for life, other than doing drugs. on that day, i resolved to stop, and have not looked back. i was one of the lucky few with the willpower to stop on their own, partly in thanx to bodybuilding. Less than 1% of the people who attempt to stop on their own stop. And even with help, most people relapse. that is how addicting it is.

so dont ever judge someone on it. people have problems, and respond differently to them. My brother is an introvert, probably borderline depressed. On top of that, his god mother, and closest adult friend died in the past year. that on top on school stress, stress from wrestling, stress from being looked at by colleges for wrestling, stress from family, stress from girlfriend. it all added up to a problem. which he got his greatest wake up call yesterday to date. He lost a match to a kidd he normally pins every time. he left the mat and cried. So everything seems to fianlly be looking up. sorry to ramble, but im done

I wasn't judging anyone for doing drugs, just trying to figure out why people trun to them. I've gone through some very stressful time in my life, but have never once considered doing drugs to solve them. Don't most people know that a quick-fix is only temporary and that it will lead to even more problems down the road. Also, I never was a heavy drinker, so I've never been so messed up that I didn't know what I was doing. I like to stay in control of everything I do!! Again, not judging, just trying to make sense of what goes through people's head's when they decide to do something this serious???

the 1st time i did it, i was drunk as shit, was fighting with my girl at the time, fighting with my parents, and at a crossroads in my life. so i did some. then being a 3rd generation addictive personality type, it snowballed. but will power can overcome all

No bro it wasnt peer pressure I usually like to try everything I am adventurous! I always learn everything the hard way and I am happy you say you wont risk your health for this, but if I had to go back and do it again I would I know I learned alot things I couldnt even explain to you or anyone that didnt have to go through it!

[gearedup]

I also have gone to my family and asked them for help and already saw 2 doctors and will be off pain pills by the end of march the latest! Every othgere drug I tried was easy to quit coke, weed, X, acid and everything I have tried alot and will never do them again the pain pills are the only thing that I need help with not because of mental but the physical pain and withdrawls I get from them I cant handle and I doubt most people could alone!

This is very serious for me this whole subject and I also put a forum up to help people in the anabolic section!

Good luck with this GearedUp and I know you will be fine cuz you've come a long way!! Sorry if I sounded insensitive, cuz I definately want to see you doing good for yourself, bro!! It just that I don't understand what its like!!

[gearedup]

Its good to have the experience but I wish it upon nobody! I am a very strong minded person it has been a long time that I have done any drugs and wont again! The omly reason I couldnt quit the pain pills is the physical withdrawls that are very dangerous! I actually started taking them for injury funny enough then after a while they caught me!

"I actually started taking them for injury funny enough then after a while they caught me!"

Man pain pills must be tough to beat man. I have heard that so many times. My bro got hooked on them (morphine and demarol mostly) and valium's.

Good luck

good news. my brother went for his evaluation today. drugs arent his problem. the were the answer to his problem of depression. people with depression will find something that makes them happy, and go with it. let it be weight training, drugs, sex, writing, etc. So as of right now, he is going to see a psychiatrist to see what needs to be done.

This has got me thinking about myself, and what i put in my body. really makes me wonder if what im doing is right or wrong. do i really wanna continue bodybuilding for the rest of my life, yes. But do i want to POSSIBLY have problems down the road, NO. so its the ages old dilema. To do, or not to do.
