Title: do you consider bodybuilders to be drug addicts?
Post by: JediTerminator on April 29, 2014, 07:05:23 AM
so a REAL WINNER on pof (hookup site) referred to me as a drug addict. for the use of testosterone, ephedrine, pre-workouts, creatine, marijuana, valium.

I don't see how that makes one a drug addict, and even if it did, I live a healthier lifestyle than when I was drinking.

lots of judgement thrown my way by a girl who's 22 with 3 kids by 3 different fathers........

It depends on the person. I think most fall into the user - abuser range. Someone like Derek Anthony falls into the addict end of the spectrum,  because even when faced with definite health problems still chose to use and abuse.

No! Not the way it used to be. But im sure it happens like anywhere else. Look at Uncle Junior! Handsome self-made millionaire! To the outside world he is  a young respected well spoken banker! Who takes care of his aging handicapped Parents! Even raises money for the Animal shelter! Perfect lifestyle of the rich and famous!
In the other life he plays to a different tune! Prostitution, gambling, drug abuse alcoholism and Father issues!( the latest steroid abuse). It can happen anywhere!

Your'e right ...sadly  SOCIETY judge on appearance ....

you can be a cocaine addict and your family wont have a clue .....

But Youre a pro Bodybuilder and people  look at you as a drug abuser simply because of the artificial hormone treated  development alone.




WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH

I tried dating websites, girls who I meet there know nothing about the real Skorp, infact I only let girls know who I really am once I am quite serious about them and have build some trust. I keep everything vague, my address, my job, where I work, my personality....in a way they like that mysterious side. Sometimes I hear them complain, "let me in" i would like to be more involved in your life...etc. ::)

This way I avoid situations when a girl starts to question or build a judgement on me in any shape or form. I also like to keep it simple with them too, don't wana know all the details....lets just have nice dates go to some cool places, have a laugh, some great sex if you're up for it....the rest is not important. I actually leanrt the latter from a divorcee i daed a few years ago, she was trapped in a 10 year nightmare and got out with a nice house and some properties and just wanted to live and catch up

Well, how many bodybuilders start taking steroids and then stop and go the natural route. None that I know of. Yah, their junkies...It's a psychological addiction.  There have been studies done on this.

I have tried many times and failed  :-\

Even went down the endurance athlete route, the endorphins kept me going but shrinking into my shirts was not soemthing I was very comfortable with.

Makes it worse when you meet people wqho havent seen in a long while and say "jeez you lost soo much weight"...and if they drop the S word....its game over, a 3ml jab in the ass guaranteed that night.

guess I should have explained this. I use 2 different profiles, my real one (which I didn't say this stuff on) and a fake one (fake pic). I use the fake one to find out what the girls I wanna fuck like/have to say and that go on my real one a week later and its like i'm a mind reader. they see me as a guy who is different and has similar likes but enough different. I fuck em and leave em. this one looked so bad on paper I thought i'd give some real info and see if the looks would overcome it. it did not.

I've also learned that if you wanna keep some women around, the quickest way is to get their kids to like you. then my name is constantly brought up and they wanna go play basketball and whatever with me. always get a call from the girl asking if we "just wanna hang out with the kids, they miss you". always get laid real nice that night and then I disappear again.

Yes, actually. Many are addicted to the effects the drugs confer on them. Most of all the psychological lift of feeling and looking great.

Physically addicted? No. But they do need TRT to keep their levels stable post-cycle, so a dependency certainly exists for quality of life reasons.

If you can stop taking whatever it is you're taking, and have everything else continue on as per usual - no change in mood, no change in behaviours - and stay this way - then you're not an addict.

coming off a relationship with a girl with kids I learned quick no matter what screw up I did (cheat, drunk, etc.) she would take me back after a few days cuz of her kids attached to me. the youngest looked to me as his father. I could pull that string and spread her legs like butter. after awhile when I would spend the day with them and it became too much to bear (too much of "so your back?") I just left them for good but kept the pics of me and her kids to show other girls that I am a decent father figure (loooooollllllll!!!!!!!!!!!! I fuckin hate kids!!!!!!)

The word ''drugs'' has to wide of a margin to classify people as ''drug addicts'', where does it end? if you take aspirin for headaches every day, are you a drug addict?

Injecting is a habit, no doubt, but to place it in the same category as rec drugs like cocaine is real dumb

Yeah, you are.

Watch a commercial for Aleve. It shows a man using Tylenol instead for a day, to underline the lowered benefits of acetaminophen vs. naproxen. In the ad, he stops at least 4 times to take pills for a sore knee.

Doesn't that sound like addictive behavior? And they don't even try to hide it. Or mention that he's probably frying his kidneys in the process.

you are missing the point here, by definition 7 billion people on this planet all fall under this category, every single person on earth, Including you are drug addicts.

The term is accepted as someone who has problems, issues for rec purposes, which would then narrow it down to a small margin, not to every single person alive.

If you don't cycle you're basically an addict, psychological or not. If you run out and are filled with anxiety that's the same as withdrawal from rec drugs.

Why is it stupid?

They use drugs.

They depend on them for the physiological effect those drugs transmit to their receptors, which leads to everything we associate with being on gear.

When they get off, they miss the effects and some go into a depression or worse.

They need other drugs to return to a normal hormonal profile, usually for the rest of their life.

They are, by definition, addicts of their substance of choice.

Care to revise or amplify your absurd assessment?

I guess if you want to define it in a certain way you could.  However I personally find it silly.  It's partially the steroid users fault though.  I was naive and though most steroid users like me never touched the rec drugs.  I never drink, not a drop "was drunk ONCE in my life when I was 18," never have taken a puff of a join in my life, didn't even know what weed smelled like until a couple of years ago, took some Oxycontin for an operation once and couldn't figure out for the life of me how anyone could like taking it as it gave me no high whatsoever, just sleepy.  Then I learned that I couldn't of been more wrong and that that it seems I would say 80-90% of all regular steroid users are/were addicted to rec drugs and generally have very addictive personalities.

Jesus man thats pretty shitty on both your parts. A woman should only introduce a partner once she is fully sure its a full serious long term relationship. And from your POV you should have some decency (even if the dumb whores dont) to not want to be in those kids lives and dissappear.

I never took anything else while juicing, didn't drink once. I figured juicing was a big enough risk.

When i cleaned out i never went back to using. I liked how i looked clean. But most never come off.
