"Even around misfits your misfits" LOL
Yeah i got about 5 friends with years clean and running gear and everyone looks at us like were juicen but no one ever said anything.haha.Alot of the girls take diet pills and most of NA smokes like a chimney.haha and would spend there last 5 dollas on smokes instead of what they really need.we all have our own journey to take and our own beliefs to live by.
Dec 21 was 5 years for me.Coke,Jake dainels,beer,weed..yada yada yada. An old punk song was my motto.."You got the beer,we got the time,you got the coke,gimmie a line"
Lost houses,bikes,cars..wife...kids still love me!!!! 401k,you name it,jobs....done.
Oh, i didnt lose anything...I GAVE IT AWAY.. This is a great idea,thanx Roid.
DEPRESSION - It VERY nearly killed me.
It went as far as taking me to stand on top of a car roof, inserting and strapping two 15ml syringes with air into both of my forearms, dousing myself in 2 gallons of petrol and attempting to strike a cigarette lighter to end my life, just to prove to my ex and my son that I wasn't the total loser that she was portraying me to be, I could get something right, even if it was just to end my sons shame of having me as his father.
I OBVIOUSLY failed.
(I had unknowingly soaked the lighter in petrol when I doused myself in it and that's what stopped the flint from igniting).
6 years later, I have rebuilt what little self respect I had left for myself, with the help of my one true guardian angel. MY Baby Darling. Without her breaking down the walls that I had built up I would NOT be here today.
SIMPLE AS.
TrenfiendThats ok mate blessing in disguise. I got arrested for burglary while attempting to steal
Enough money to kill myself. Cheers to life mate
Congrats to the officer for being in the right place at the right time then, Mate.
If that doesn't sound weird?
But at the time, if like me, ending our lives was the sanest and most normal thought, just like the thoughts of what we're going to have for dinner, or do we want sugar in our next cup of coffee.
I used to SERIOUSLY look down on individuals who allowed themselves to be ruled by depression, and even on guys who used to cry. "Men DON'T Cry". Simple as.
But after being covered by the shadow of depression I now understand when a human being wants to give up what is most precious to us.
And I will ALWAYS be around as a mate to talk to when my fellow brother/sister needs one.
I was addicted to meth and coke for a couple years when i was young and that shit tore me up, 6'4" , 150lbs. I ended up in prison for 6 years and that's where I lifted my first weight. I never looked back, and i wouldn't trade this lifestyle for anything.
My name is jprizzle and I'm a oxy/vicodin/alcohol addict. I have been "clean" for close to 2 years now after starting suboxone.
I have a very addictive personality. I know have a productive addiction (bodybuilding). I started using steroids because of opiates. They lowered my test levels and I was put on Trt. I figured (with my addictive personality) I might as well go all the way .my test levels are already screwed. I'm not in any program aa/na but have been to some meetings a few years back. The courts thought it was a good idea.
My couselor I once had said I was self medicating, my girl stayed with me all through those years. She left me for one year out of the two decades. I tried most all of it. Never did prescription med like oxy my kid brother got pretty screwed up from that type of drugs. He's had to be institutionalized on more than one occasion. He tells me about some of the guys and gals that I used to run with. A lot of the he couldn't actually.meet cause there buried somewhere. You can really get on a fast track to pushin daisies.
The suboxone saved me for sure but it is a double edgr sword. The withdrawal from the subs is ten times worse and hardet to stop then the other stuff. But it wont kill me and it blocks all opiates. Even made me not like alcohol .
I feel I've lived the rock opera Tommy...
Had an acid queen of a girl friend in the 80's that got me started with shooting up Chrystal Meth, coke and heroin. Cleaned myself up but started drinking heavy 15 years later, around 2000; sobered up around 2006.
Took up running to get myself back in shape. Took up lifting when I saw how much muscle I lost once the fat came off.
Haven't had a drink since 2006, can't remember when the last time I even took a toke from a joint. No desire to do so either.
I never attended AA or NA but when I look at my personal experiences I can see how many of the things I did paralleled the 12 steps.
yes sir no doubt you have an addictive personality! welcome!
my name is.... and I am an addict
Sweet welcome home! LOL
I'm recovering from run of one leg lunges. It seems take me forever to recover from those dirty dogs. I'm on cycle right now too, with lunges it don't seem to matter whether your on or not. They might not hurt quite as bad when on, but I still walk and have trouble sittng down and getting up. Maybe I'm just gettin old, hope that's not the case.
Haaaa! Not that kind of recovery! LMAO
Haha yea I used to sling dope when I was a lad. Guys with face masks ended up scaring me straight, well not right away. When I found out the big guy set me up, I decided damn can't trust nobody. He set up to go down for long time, too bad for the masked men I muffed there plan and and got a mere possesion. Real kicker is nowadays you can reside in that state and if you have a sniffle you can get.a script. Then I turned to binge drinkingin my mid twenties, that went on for about five years and now I spend obsessive amounts of time lifting.
very cool.
Agreed! I think it is beneficial similar to the new comer at a meeting, a place where we can talk about shit that we Identify with! Are you in recovery?
It's a good feeling to know that there's a few of us on eroids that have recovered from substance abuse. If it wasn't for lifting I would be dead or in prison.
yes very cool indded! i am not in recovery, or have delt with the exact hardships many do/have. But i have delt with self recovery to an extent and would offer motivation or an ear to any and all.
