My dumb ass friend. Radom ramble about steroids

A friend of mine decided he was going to take steroids to help him get over a physical plateau. I strongly suggested against it and he said it was only going to be for "one cycle" and even asked me if I wanted to do it with him and of course I said no.

That was over three years ago and he's still juicing. I've noticed that he's become a lot more irritable and defensive as well being easier to anger plus he's got some nasty ass acne popping up on his back. I don't know if his dick as shriveled up and I really don't want to know about it either.
He's always been a big guy and strong as hell, he really doesn't need it, but then I realized that steroids can be just as addictive as any other drug and unlike other drugs, I can actually see the appeal of taking them. You get tremendous gains with half the time and effort and you look pretty darn good in the mirror too.
Unfortunately these gains disappear just as quickly once you stop no matter how hard you try to maintain your "counterfeit" muscles naturally and that's where steroids addictive nature surfaces.

That can be an incredibly hard thing to give up which is why people like my friend who plan on taking it for "one cycle" usually continue taking it for years.
People with low self esteem are twice as likely to become addicted. Maybe that's why most pro bodybuilders are so short. Perhaps they're compensating for their stubbiness?? Ah, whatever.

There was a time I seriously considered juicing until I read about the risks... especially involving the penis and heart... that was the end of that.
