not to be a dick but changing one addiction or compulsive type behavior for another is not a cure, you simply just switched drugs ( though typically are still engaging similar chemical pathways ) which is why its easy to transition from drug addict to bb addict. especially since the core of the bb lifestyle for most is centered around drug and supplement use.
drug abuse is rampant in the bb lifestyle, as is the focus on chemical stimulus, be that food, sup or drug.
I have also know many addicts that have transitioned to other life through AA or NA or similar. none have over come addiction they simply switched drugs. rather street drugs they use cigarettes, coffee and sugary foods. they are still addicts, they are just behaiving in more socially acceptable ways.
the only reason I know this is because I am genuinely fucked up, just like most addicts, my brian and brain chemistry are not normal I am driven towards chemical producing activities because my brain is deprived of the normal chemistry that occurs in people who are "normal", "happy" and "well adjusted" .
there is no cure, ill never be better as in permenintly I am only as good as my collective reason and will power in any given situation and in all probability will be volatile until the day I die.
this is why I am compelled and somewhat obsessed with training, diet(ing) and this whole bb sort of lifestyle. at its best it forces us to be honest with ourselves, not just for right now but in general especially if you try and learn from it.
sure I want a cookie, but will eating that cookie bring me closer to or further from my immediate goal.
sure I want to be big lean and muscular, if I take this giant cycle, it may help in the short term, but could it be detrimental in the long run?
In the big picture I think this life style can help but I also think it can be an easy trade off for one drug behavior to another.
