Makes you realize muscles are great but who really cares when you look at the big picture. Being alive is a gift, not to be gay but you know what I mean
Being intelligent and insightful isn't "gay".

I am 41 years old and certain events in my life over past 3-4 years really made me get my priorites straight.
i think your health and your wife are priorites. i know you said this wasnt AAS related but it doesnt have to be to still kinda give you a hint at what is important.
i couldnt care less if you come back to your jacked self. its not real anyway. thinkin that way helps me deal with the smaller (but healthier) version of myself. it was mostly drugs that made me that big. Wasnt what i was supposed to look like. and not sustainable. just a chasing of the wind to quote king solomon.
i'd be most impressed if you let go of "being big" and realize whats the TRUE benefit of being yoked and ripped and competing... really is no benefit i can think of...
I know you live your life as you want and i do the same, but this is good wake up call to what is important. i enjoy my friends my family, vacations, foods... wonderful not being a slave to a lifestyle that never really benefited me in any way. i always said it took away far more than it gave me (money, time, health... those are huge things!)
steps off soap box and ends rant.
big fan of you concrete. we have private messaged more than you prob know. was years ago but always been following you since then.
take care. you tough SOB!

Why do you assume he doesn't appreciate his life and the people in it? Your post was well intentioned but very presumptuous!
does blasting high dose typically lengthen or shorten a persons lifespan?
is it healthier to be on stack of roids and fat burners or on regulated trt only?
we ALL know the answers to those questions.
so if it continues, what is he choosing as priority? living longer with wife? or risking health probs and shorter lifespan to be "swole" and impress the guys?
seems obvious to me its a choice about whats imortant ultimately.
i wont say anymore. im a crazy alcohlic pot smoking lunatic so pot calling kettle black but if and when i get cancer i KNOW i took risk of losing health for bad habits. and i will feel guilty as hell. will wish i had chosen differently. concrete is at a good cross road to avoid feeling like that. just my opinion tho.
EDIT: i want what is best for CG and i am not an intimate friend of his BUT i dont think muscles should be his priority AT ALL. i dont even think he should be TOO upset about losing muscle. i'd like to think he is mainly just thankful for being alive and has more time with wife. but it sounds to be mostly about losing muscle. just kinda obvious what looks important to him. you can call it presumptious if ya want. but i think it looks obvious.
EDIT: ok, maybe presumptios (i cant spell that) but my heart is in the right place! GET WELL CG! guess all i can say is good wake up call, smell the roses! most of us dont until its too late.

I appreciate your words friend. Why would you think I fall short caring about my wife and health? My wife is the center of my universe. Can you imagine she spent every day and night at the hospital? She returned home to shower and change cloths every third day. My love for here is something I hope everyone reading this has a chance to experience in life.
Health? Did you read while I was in they did a complete run up and all my organs are at 100% . Knock on wood but it wood appear that gear isn't effecting me in the same negative way it does many others.
I'm happy your at peace with your body and condition your in. I don't share the same view as you. I feel being in shape and looking fit is important and keeps me mentally happy. My quest for the over 60s pro card is over for sure. But I will always be at the forefront of my own personnel quest to be in the best shape I can maintain without going over the edge with the gear.
Why be jacked? I think for me it's based on insecurities formed during childhood. Bullied and then after a few years of that I stabbed him with a fork in the cafeteria and that got me transferred to a school for problem children witch exposed me to a group I didn't belong in. In tenth grade I was transferred back to public school, but there was always an air around me that scared other students. In my twenties I was exposed to horrific things that are burned into my sole. But I signed up for it. You would think that may have cured any insecurities. Guess not because here I am still pounding away and trying to stay pumped. For me this has been a competitive sport that I loved. I was never the "get jacked and pose in the mall guy". The gear I did was for a purpose. But again, the insecurities was also a driving factor.
I went back and read several pages of Slices thread about getting hurt. With this experience I can see and view things much better and empathize with him and his feelings. Before when I read it I felt bad for him but it didn't grab me and touch me. My views have forever changed and my respect for life at an all time high. I look back at some of the things I have done and it's so upsetting how many times I almost bought the farm and didn't. Off the scale stupid things that I would never repeat.
Your a good guy Fit2serve, stay that way.
