On a more serious note...

TweetT-man made the comment "when did aas cause someone to lose their family or life savings" and it made me want to share this story with you. (I'm not jumping on your case T-man)

I agree that using aas is NOTHING like having a crack or heroin addiction, but if you think that you CAN'T get addicted to it, I think you are wrong.

In my opinion, AAS is mentally addicting...and I have seen it happen to numerous people. They either refuse to take the proper time "off" or can't say "no" to their next cycle even when their body starts having major side effects. Be safe, guys and gals.

TweetThanks GP,

And just to share a little story -

a very successful manager at a gym was "on" and used a source regularly. After YEARS of business with this gym manager, the source found out the gym manager and his wife had seperated. Without giving it much thought, the source continued to sell to the gym manager. One day, the source gets a call from the gym manager's wife saying that the gym manager hasn't been paying child support, alimony and was living out of his car, meanwhile the gym manager was buying 100's of dollars worth of product every month.

the gym managers kids were suffering at the expense of his "habit"

Some guys are just loosers and would be the same way on or off juice! you must have goals and priorities in life and stick by them. ie wife, kids, bills, job come first after that juice it up, if it cant come after that then you just DONT do it!!!

TweetThat is sad.

Psychological addiction is real.

TweetThe addiction is unbelievable. I've had a couple instances in my life where I start to question the use of gear - knowing full well that it's damaging my body - and I still want to get back "on" or extend a cycle. It's very disturbing but I'm fortunante enough to have recognized my growing dependence and quit. Health is first! Can't over emphasize that enough. However, to be completely candid - If I didn't have any pre-existing medical problems, I would be "on" a lot more!

She'd of just bought shoes and purses with it. I'M JUST KIDDING! Adictions come in every form if it was just as easy as saying "responsibilities first" but it's not. Children are first, they have a tough enough time ahead of them in this world, don't mess it up for them now.

You trip me out Friggemall and your shoes and purses comment...ROTFLMAO! But on a serious note, kids do come first!

TweetI agree with you ladies. I for one feel the mental addiction, even though i do not abuse it, i still feel cravings even though ive been off for six months. To me it is very similar to that of nicotine addiction. Don't get me wrong, i don't go crazy over it, but i catch myself from time to time just looking at my aas, and thinking and anticipating when my next cycle will start. Some ppl unfortunately can not curb their cravings, and don't have the mental control to wait, and or also feel the need to up their dosages to fullfill their mental cravings. They use what they hear from other peeps to justify their mega doses and are in denile just like with other addictions.
