Shout out to you all

After being on some forums and fairly new, i just wanted to say i admire everyone's dedication loyalty and sacrifices to the fitness lifestyle. After reading a ton of stuff and personal experiences of you all it gives a hope and ambition. I was dedicated to heroin for 11 years in the past been clean for a few years and if i could dedicate my life to a pointless thing with nothing to look at or feel good except a 145lbs bag of bones and depression i know i could dedicate it to something more meaningful. Thanks guys

Welcome to the board. Im glad you found a more healthy habit to concentrate on. So much more healthy lifestyle for you.

My advice though is to watch out that you don't let bodybuilding take over too much of a role in your life. Being an ex addict means that your personality is more apt to become over involved with something like bodybuilding. Stay healthy and natural if you can.

I became addicted to bodybuilding and became somewhat obsessed with it. Took too many steroids and ended up having a heart attack, almost died. My heart is wrecked now. Not saying that is gonna happen to you, but just try to do everything in moderation. I tend to take the things I like to extremes. Im always wanting to push things to the limit.
