Steroids and 12 step programs

[buddhabuilder]

So, the question I am hearing from you, that I'm not sure was completely answered, deals with, can AAS undermine a persons journey in sobriety. Alot of real life examples here point to weight training and diet being important parts of a sober lifestyle. But, I have also seen guys, with a history, get involved in stimulants and coke and falling out of the gym, after getting on steroids. Maybe they would have anyway, it's hard to say. If you feel like you have maxed out your natural potential, and you plan on continuing all the other things you have in place in your sobriety, I don't think the answer is a definite "No". You may choose to try an oral cycle for 6 weeks with all the support and PCT and see how it goes. As with anything, it's all about making your life better, and having balance.

Yes. 10 yrs in the program. Just started anabolics recently. I've had no issues and certainly don't consider it a relapse.

Steroids won't keep you sober

^hmmmm.... i disagree to a point... it may settle ones compulsions to use something..
just as one may expirament with other drugs when they cannot obtain their 'drug of choice'...
though it may also backfire in that same sense... a definite double edges sword...
i went to one meeting after rehab... didnt juice after that for like 6 months (had done a couple smaller cycles before)... so for someone without a great support system (my family is a great help) then things will be more difficult either way...
