A non-promoting, yet non-biased view on steroids, about "roid rage"

As eric said, your post is appreciated, and I enjoyed reading some of what you have written.

I do have to say that there is a lot that I disagree with in there, most notably the part where you paint steroid users as lifetime drug addicts. This is far from the truth, but I can see how it can be true for some who partake in using aas. As you clearly pointed out in the beginning of your post, one effect of aas is to heighten some pre-existing problems you may already have. If a perticular person has an addictive personality, then I can see this happening.

But on the flip side of that coin, I know many responsible users who do not suffer from this affliction, and have not had any problems doing a few cycles, and calling it quits, or as is the case with me, taking breaks for a year or more in between cycles.

There is a fine line between use, and abuse, and if your contemplating using, you need to know where that line is.

As for your last paragraph, all I can say is, if those are your reasons for using aas, you should not be using them at all.

oh and by the by, that entire post was biased, how could it not be?

I couldn't agree more hrdgain81. It's been more than a couple years since I went off of them. And I did more than a few cycles. To be honest, I find that some of the overly heavy lifts I was doing left me with injuries that were and still are harder to deal with than the thought of not being as big as I once was. Who cares, I'm thankful that I don't have to undergo TRT and I want to keep it that way. I'll just keep it natural from this point forward. Nothing at all against the guys that still wanna use them. Hell, I was there, it's just not my thing anymore.
