Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I spent 9 days in detox and an additional several weeks in rehab for alcohol and xanax. I coded out twice. Any mixing of alcohol and benzos can/will kill you. They are the very few drugs where both can cause death during detox. That was 4 years ago and I have not touched either since.
Pharmaceutical Drugs & Alcohol do NOT Mix!!!

Right on bro that's great to hear!!! It's hard because loved ones try to do whatever they can to help get the person clean but like what Steve said its up to you and you only. I had millions and thought I was set up but my addiction took over after my career was done. The only way to get what I wanted was money so those millions went pretty fucking fast over the course of a few years. You get stuck in the high life and living like a rockstar it's a crazy lifestyle. I know a lot of guys especially athletes that use the gym to help them stay clean. It becomes a way of life in the gym along with all the routines you have through the day. Without weights I don't know what the hell I'd do. A lot of people think that being a professional athlete is easy and it's one of the hardest things to do physically and mentally. When your career ends and that's all you've known your whole life you spin in circles and most end up messed up on boos or drugs to drowned there sorrows. I have the up most respect for anyone out there who has been an addict or alcoholic and turned their life around!!!
while that would a good add for kids to watch reality is somewhat different, people die from severe reation to cough medicine....... you we think we are safe taking gear alone then??? no we are not, in the amounts most of us cycle that alone is playing with the fire you mention, would tren mean no coffee because of the thermal effects both have on the body??? or weigth loss thermogenically affecting the body mean no energy drinks or nitric oxide supplements??? i am 100 percent behind you with medication and alcohol, but aas and alcohol, if you dosed at what science and testing has proven to help what the steroid anabolic or not is being administered for i bet alcohol will not create a life orr death situation
without getting too personal may i ask what league you played in? NFL? MLB? how many years?

No worries MLB. I played for 10yrs total that's including minor leagues as well. It's different with baseball because you have so many different levels before you reach the show 6 to be exact. People say all you guys do is hit a ball and throw but those are the guys that don't understand. 162 regular season games all the training that goes into that and if your like how I played at full speed every game running into walls and running guys over at the plate your bound to blow out. I played as hard as I could and in cost I got hurt a lot and that's what got me started on all the pills and the boos came from the night life
Good read this thread as I probably had the worst night out last weekend I've ever experienced (mind you I'm meant to be slowing down my going out) got my cycle stored away until I can prove to myself I don't need anything else to have fun and the last thing I want to do is be mid cycle and go on a binge.
Very good thread , after being a pro athlete for most of my twenties , I never touched alcohol and always was into the bodybuilding lifestyle from a young age it wasn't my discipline of choice , anyways I stopped that Carreer and at the same time suffered divorce , and somehow I found alcohol and dug a very deep black hole with it for some two years or so
Gym and bodybuilding saved my life , it keeps me focused and away from all that , yes I do have relapses every now and again for a few weeks but they are years apart and I am very thankfully for that and they too are getting much further apart
Wish I could help more people , but as has been mentioned something inside of us needs to switch , to give you that strength to face that first day, and then the second and then the third and until someone finds that catalyst then there is no hope
For the outside world to assist ! I don't look down on those suffering with it as the moment because I know the monumental strength it takes , and I also know that under the influence is not where you want to be but you feel powerless to stop your actions

That is so true. Either your done or your not only you know that. It's funny I was at the gym with my buddy yesterday and was doing db bench with the 120's. After my last push of going all out everything I had and finishing I had a huge smile on my face and my buddy says" Dude why are you so happy right now?" I responded with I feel like I'm loaded!! The point being that bodybuilding gives me that natural high that I love and has completely replaced the other crap. I still do cycles I just got off of a 10wk Test E 750 cycle that I absolutely loved!! My life is great I wouldn't change any of it. I had to become an addict/alcoholic and lose pretty much everything except my wife and god knows why she stuck around cuz I would've been gone!!! In 31 years I've been to hell and back but my life has never been better. People ask me if my life is boring because I don't drink or use anymore. No it's awesome I still go out with my wife because she's normal she can have just a couple and I sit back and watch how fucking stupid people act when they're messed up
^^^ yeah man, i can't stop smiling the other day when i was hitting a PR on the bench.
was doing 3 plates and it was light weight. its nice to be able to throw on 315+ and easily nail it a bunch of times while the dude next to me is doing 155.
definately the endorphins and confidence come out with weight training. when i was an endurance athlete and i would cross that finish line after a mean 5K race and set a PR i would have a tremendous high that is undescribable.
