Yeah right.  You know you don`t subscribe to that philosophy.  Its just that the majority of people who are using either think, "oh no, no way something like that could happen to me".


Think about it though.  At your age and height, you have no business being 200 plus lbs and expect to be in good health.  Its your choice, but you are fooling yourself if you think you are healthy at that weight and height at that age.

We are both going to die, you could have a heart attack tomorrow, same as me.

Well as long as you know the risks I guess.

I should probably amend the title to, "Steroids and recreational drugs are what morons do unless they accept the consequences and are aware that it will have a negative impact on their overall lifespan"

To eat, shit, sleep, fuck - rinse repeat (till the day we die).

Some decide to reach the "end" faster, some doesn't decide anything, just go with the flow, and most just wander around while feeling miserable, searching for a ray of joy that slips away every time they think they've finally got a glimpse of it.

TA,
Part of life is Death.
From the moment we are born we are all on the Road to death.
Life in its self is fraught with danger.

Personally i chose not to drink alcohol or smoke,
i have a fairly clean diet do a fair amount of aerobic work
Stay lean year round. Approx 10 / 12 % body fat.
HT 5'6. age 54 BW 230 /235lbs
And i use steroids..!!!!  :o

Am i taking risks, probably.
Then again I ride a motorbike for enjoyment
And do at least 30k mls a year in my car,
Both statistically far great risk of harm or death.

Should i quit them also for being dangerous.

Why do you think you are better than others
solely because we choose to take steroids.. :o

Really, worry about your own life & what you can
control in that.
 :)

Not other peoples lives.

Issues are never black and white:
Not all drugs and/or dosages are created equally. Smoking a joint occasionally isn't going to shorten your life. Likewise a TRT dose is probably ok.
Live your life, have fun, be kind, and fuck off

ive had experiences and opportunites based entirely on the way i look that i wouldnt have had otherwise.

if anabolics shave 20 years off my life, i dont care- its the shitty 20 at the end id otherwise be grinding out in an old age home wishing i had have done things differently.

and this isnt a cocky 30 something speaking who thinks hes invincible. im mid 40's now and i know im going to pay for it all at some point, and its all been very worth it.

If folks wanna live fast and die young that's their choice.

If folks wanna live clean and shoot for 100 that's their choice.

If folks wanna fill themselves with drugs or vegetables that's their choice.

Yes, but if you have a wife and kids it is no longer just about you.  Its very easy to say "who cares about dying young" when you're 25 and single...but when you're 45 with a loving wife and 3 kids, you may regret the choices you had made.

I've argued the merits of what you noted on several occasions.  Unfortunately few on this board care about or comprehend that.

I also agree with you completely.

The majority care about "me" not "we".  Again, I said the majority not all.

Narcissistic addicts would rather lose 25-30 years of their lives and leave a gorgeous corpse behind.

It's a sad situation but many only see it that way and won't be told otherwise.  Same ole "nothing bad will happen to me" mentality.

Family values?  Concern for others?   Reasons to live in general for more than self or empty pleasures? LOL!  Not with this lot.

Absolutely their choice to exist in shallow,  pretentious nonsense if they want.   I don't encourage it but they have the choice to do so.

My grandfather passed away from emphysema and it could probably be compared to torture.  Only having 10% of your lung capacity for the final 3 years of his life, on oxygen 24/7, not being able to walk 30 feet without sitting down to catch your breath, in and out of ICU 4-5 times a year for the last 5 years of his life.  Brutal... and what killed him?  Painting and sandblasting without a respirator back before we knew the dangers.  A hard working man who lived a fruitful life, one of the nicest men on the planet, never drank or smoked, gave to everyone and wanted nothing in return.  Dead at 68.  Other than his lungs, he was in perfect health.

My brother has been an alcoholic for 10+ years, smokes 2 packs of menthol's a day, never workout out a day in his life, eats fast food every day and doesn't give two fucks about health.  Perfectly healthy at 38 years old.

I've used AAS for over 10 years, insane amounts for long periods, not coming off for 3+ years and I'm still in perfect health.  I've done every drug known to man except heroin, dropped acid every weekend for a few months, smoked weed every day for 2 years, i get shitfaced drunk 2-3 times a month, i drink insane amounts of coffee, work 60+ hours a week, i ride motorcycles, follow a healthy diet 75% of the time... I love my life.  I don't give a shit what anyone thinks about me or what i do, i love every day of my life and wouldn't change it for the world.

I'm healthy as an ox.  I've done more AAS and rec drugs than almost anyone I've ever met.

Life's a bitch, have fun, don't worry about things you can't change... You don't choose when to die, i could get hit by a bus on my way home tonight.  If you want to be healthy go for it, just know that when it's your time to go, it's time.  Nothing you do directly effects your date of death, BUT everything you do indirectly effects it.

Life is dangerous, might as well enjoy it... or just sit at home behind a keyboard and make fun of others.  ;D
