A Bit Overdue

ad

Hello all! Been a member here for a bit over a year but never formally introduced myself, so here it goes.

I, like so many of you other members, am a recovering painkiller enthusiast. Started out going to a chiropractor for back pain at the young age of 23. After a year of treatment that wasn't helping, was given a recommendation to a pain management center. BIG MISTAKE! Started with vicodin and over the next few years graduated to buying oxycontins on the street. Consumed my entire life. Lost the house, wife, and most of my family wouldn't speak to me. After hitting rock bottom a friend of my suggested Suboxone. ANOTHER BIG MISTAKE! I will say that I was able to get my life back on track and salvaged all my old relationships. Been on the Subs for 5 years now and don't think ill ever kick them.
That's what ultimately brought me to droids. All the years of abuse trashed my Test levels. Went to an endocrinologist a few years ago and rode the TRT ride.....the ups and downs due to my doctors poor understanding of half lives and had me on too infrequent of a schedule. I took matters into my own hands, found eroids, and haven't looked back.
I am so glad I stumbled upon this site! The people and information found here are second to none. I'm working on getting into shape and blasting some cycles in the future, but have to get my diet and training routine down first.

It's amazing how so many of us have such similar stories. Discectomy C-5/C-6 herniations in L-4/L-5/L-6 been on Norcos for years. Began TRt at 28ish? Shit its been so long I forget now. After years n years on norcos plus the spinal injuries my endo test was shot. Began HGH therapy last year and by god if I'm not completely off all pain meds. I still take my anti inflammatory n muscle relaxers but they don't rule my life like opiates did. Here's a belated "Welcome to the board" and "hope to see u around bro" ahahaha

Like you and i'm sure plenty others on here I have struggled with drug use in the past. For me it was cocaine and booze. I tried the AA thing for a while, but it never felt right to me, probably because of my own insecurities. But once I discovered fitness and bodybuilding I noticed I didn't feel the need to party so hard. I still have a few beers sometimes on the weekends but I now have a level of self control I never would have thought possible. Keep sticking around bro, you're in the right place!
