The only reason I decided to post this is hopefully it can help someone out here. I have been training and competing for a long time and willing to do anything to grow. I started doing Nubain in 2000 to "help" get me through tough workouts--at least thats what I told myself back then. It quickly got to the point where I "needed" bain to feel normal. I went from that to oxycontin but continued to train, for a while. It got out of control and I was shooting oxy's every 2 hours or so. Last June I got an infection in my heart called endocarditis from using one of my old steoid needles to shoot oxy's--I got down to 204lbs from around 275lbs. I continued to use in the hospital for 8 weeks--thank God for my family and friends not giving up on me and I went to a treatment center in MS for 4.5 months-I have not used opiates now for 5 months and bodybuilding and elitefitness are helping me stay clean--some of you might read this and say "that shit will never happen to me", but I used to think the exact same thing--sorry if this is not appropriate but hopefully it will change someones mind before they use nubain or any other opiates "just to help them train harder"
