AAS addiction

[shawnkarbabacz]

Has anyone ever said 'ok im just gonna do one cycle and thats it.' and actually kept to it? I cant imagine the will power it would take to stop COMPLETELY after one cycle, assuming you didnt get massive sides and you got good gains.

Obviously this board is full of bro's with incredible willpower, but that seems like a tall order to give it up once you start. Has anybody done it? Has anybody given it up and then yrs later competed again without it?

levrone is supposedly natural right now he was documenting his whole transformation i dont know if hes still doin it check his site

 

[shawnkarbabacz]

I didnt even know he was still in the game. Last time i saw him it was some joke video a long time ago and he looked super small. (in comparison to what he was obviously. Hes still bigger then me )

I was mainly asking about the fellas on this board though.

Wouldn't that be pointless, unless you were going to compete specifically in natural shows? As much as we credit diet and training, it would be hard to compete against others who are on large doses of anabolics, at least I would think so

That was the point i was making. And i was refering to yes, a natural show. It seems like if youve ever competed WITH AAS, it would be difficult to do a prep without it, considering you could remember what you looked like and how things went when you WERE on.

Id guess there arent many people that would ever even bother, but i was curious which is why i started this thread.

Do you really think your natural after you've done aas? I sure dont

I have a couple of friends that have done a couple of cycles and quit, mainly because of economics, but if it was an addiction they would find a way. I have certainly stopped myself for as long as a whole year without really missing it. God bless you.

i started steroids and never came off i would definately agree with them be addicting why be a human when u can be superman

I've heard people say it before, but don't think anyone stood by it. And once you pin I would no longer consider you natural. Unless all you only pin B12.

I'll admit that I'm addicted.

Having said that... I don't do traditional cycles, anymore. I do no more than 300mg of test a week. Right now, I'm doing 250mg/wk of Sus. I will generally stop for a couple or 3 months after the summer is over so that I can keep everything somewhat normal.

Oh, I've stopped for long stretches. But, I've always came back. I have to constantly fight the urge to just say "eff it!" and start pounding a gram of test a week and 75mg/day of tren again. These things aren't conducive to what I want to accomplish... which is to look fantastic with my shirt off and still be able to wear clothes off the rack and look relatively normal. I don't like being heavy anywhere but the gym. Everywhere else, it sucks. So, I just do my maintenance dose and maybe some peptides here and there and fight off the urges to do more gear.

 

[hawkmoon]

I was off for about 7 years, then 8 wks on, then off for almost 15 years, now TRT with the occasional cycle.
Like so many other things, it's up to the individual.

 

[DrivingForward]

Theres nothing addictive about AAS. You just like looking good year round lol

 

[tazzie]

I think the concept of "addiction" is different with gear than with say, recreational drugs.. gear is part of the whole equation that produces results.. you dont take gear and get an instant high for example.

I tell you it's hard for me to want to stop. I just did my last shot yesterday after a 4 month cycle. I was still making gains,, but I realize I need time off. One to give my receptors a break and 2 to clean out and get my natural test flowing again. I was thinking about TRT but I don't really need it and at 35, I'm not sure I want to be on TRT for the rest of my life.

 

[Cactus kid]

yeah i said one cycle and im gonna keep to it. so for the rest of my life i am going to be on cycle!

 

[nickman1978]

i have been on now for a little over 4 months or so. I really don't want to come off but i know i need to so my body can get back to normal again for a bit.
I allready have gear stocked up for the next cycle. Which will most likely be around early to mid summer.
I know that one day i will have to be on trt. I'm only 32 right now so i would like to try to wait as long as i could before i get on trt. Plus i would like to have 1 more child.

My only AAS experience is a phera plex / superdrol bridge cycle 3 years ago. Both were AX's version of the drug.

Lost some hair, got some gyno (KILLED it with letro) and kept none of the gains .... and, I didn't BLOW UP the same way my friend did. I'm saving myself for HRT later in life.

Did I permanently alter my endocrine system? I guess I should'a done tests....

 

[meatshack137]

dont think aas is addictive, just as the effects of them arent addictive but coveted.

Mentally addictive? Possible... depends on the person. Physically addictive? Absolutely not. I get kinda pissed when I hear about gear being "addictive" because I am a former drug addict and was physically dependent on opiates for a long time. It was absolute hell and ruined my life, by Bodybuilding career, and my family and friends. Everyday was pure hell and torture if I didn't have my stupid drugs. Spending thousands a month, just to be NORMAL!
To hear someone throwing around the term "addictive" and that they are an "addict" so loosely kinda pisses me off. Every watch Intervention? Know anyone with a serious drug addiction? THAT my friends is addiction... not some desire to be fit and look good.

"maaann, you in here...for some steroids?? You ever suck dick for some steroids??!!?!?"

haha jus playin bro. I have a few close friends that were hooked on oxy and eventually became heroin addicts. It's a serious addiction. What you say is true...but looking at the bigger picture you need to realize addiction isn't categorized only by things drug addicts do. Clearly the physical thing is unquestionably not the same...with opiates you definitely need to use just to feel normal as you put it, this could never be true for roids. But to say it's not an addiction is far from true.
