i suffer from the disease of addiction but i am in recovery now-NA...
there are definitely guys who juice and have a lot of clean time..aas are not in thye same category as opiates, cocaine, benzodiazapines, alcohol etc

I agree with you wholeheartedly but a lot of the people in NA do not feel that way. personally i have wrestled with the decision, and i decided that steroids are ok. They do not affect who i am or how i treat others. I know that it is probably the addict in me justifying it but thats how i keep it straight in my head.

For me, my addiction involved shooting up and the simple fact of having syringes around was a stumbling block for a long time. Once i got a significant amount of clean time under my belt though, i can take my gear(i mean give it to my lab rat) and not get some sorta flashback etc. it gets a little bit better every day and at the end of each day, i can look back and say it is a good thing i didn't use that day=-)

For those still suffering, hang in there and try to get some help, there are tons of people out there who would be willing to help you.
 
Used to be workout anorexic. Went from 111 to 172 once I started training. I definitely have an addictive personality, but bodybuilding helps filter it to where it's beneficial to me.
 
I'm in the addictive tendencies category , I've been able to channel it into mostly good addictions . I was heavy into fishing for a while , then snowmachining ,(still am actually) , and now for the past three years bodybuilding , I tend to be pretty obsessive with everything I get in to . Thank God I've steered clear of drugs and alcohol .
 
addiction is a bitch. i was in 7 detoxes from heroin,xanax, crack anything i could really do. been clean in recovery for 9 years now. its sweet. i def replaced the the drugs for other addictions like food, sex, gym, juice and whatever else that makes me feel good. im okay with that though. i was 145lbs 9 years ago and now 200lbs getting ready for my first show. very grateful
 
Pain killers. I have to literally stay away from them. I remember hurting myself once and getting a script, the next day the script was empty. 30 pills in less that 24 hours. I ate them because they were there, not because I needed them.

I've had my liver check several times since I've quit and I'm doing fine, thank god!

Opiates/occasional heroin use for me. Was fully addicted to oxycontin for a short time, about 2 months. I realized where this was taking me and stopped and had about 2 weeks of moderate physical withdrawal. Had 2 surgeries within 4 months a little while after this. Neither left me in a lot of pain, but I was still given tons of pain medication. I went through them way faster than I was supposed to and asked the doc for more. I was given them. After this stint on the pain meds I was much more psychologically dependant than before. My tolerance was incredibly high and I began shooting the drugs. This quickly lead to heroin. I've been clean for about a month now. I had to leave a lot of my old friends behind as they all use and it just does not fit in with my lifestyle. I was always what I considered to be a functional addict. In that my habit was very discrete and I always made enough money to not have my habit interrupt my life. Not all junkies are bums and theives.

For most of the time I was using(except the downtimes after the surgeries) I was still bodybuilding. Currently 240lbs 12%ish bf @6'1''

I always tell people bodybuilding is the ultimate narcisistic endeavor and only those NEEDING to fill a void do it..... this is ME, but i think as long as im aware of this and try to enrich other areas of my life and those around me i believe i can balance it out..

wow 28% of us have had a rec drug prob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my take on that is that we are primarily highly driven individuals who are hard on ourselves and expect alot in life, and can probably be far too hard and damaging to ourselves when we fail!!!!

so i take the positive from that, we strive to achieve, we just need to know how to accept and value ourselves regardless of our outward achievements..

if all you do today for someone else is smile at each person you make eye contact with, i think youve made the world a better place even if just for one day....

sorry to be gushy,,, i just feel really strong bout this..

I completely agree :)
 
My only recreational drug problem is when I can't score any.:p

Define recreational drug. Are steroids included? What about caffeine, tobacco, booze, viagra??? If so, about everyone I know is an addict.

i used to be workaholic,as soon as somebody mentioned work i'd get drunk
 
I have definitely had my share of addictions over the years, basically move on from one drug on to the next. I was definitely a functioning addict, always held a job and paid for everything, but still doing shit I didn't need to be doing. Anymore I just drink, but even that gets out of hand at times and I never know when I'm good and need to quit drinking. I will probably find myself in AA at some point in my life, but I'm trying to manage myself. We'll see.

Good post though, I think this has been brought up here before and made light of addictions/bodybuilders.

if it makes you feel any better you wrote exactly what i would have
 
Addiction?

I would have to say its more of a life style then an addiction. My life is forever changed, its become who i am. Bodybuilding the greatest sport period!
