The following story was taken from a website of a guy who abused steroids...
I Can't Count How Many Fights I Was In, But I Do Know I Ended Up Needing Reconstructive Surgery On My Hand.
"Around the age of 17, I was at a friends party and another buddy of mine that was a little "wacko" had brought some of his friends to the party. The first guy I seen was enough to make you piss your pants in fear. At the time he was about 220lbs, 6 feet tall. I was introduced to him and he seemed like a nice guy, so we started to talk.
Oddly enough I never knew anything about steroids but after finding out that I could look like he did after using them I was hooked, that simple, that easy!!! My best friend and I decided to do some reading on this wonderfully amazing drug. We started buying every kind of magazine, book, and stole even library articles on steroids. OOps did I just confess to illegal activity? About a year and a half went by and we had been working our asses off to try and look half as good as he did. We were not to keen on sticking those inch and a half javelins in our ass cheeks, so we just kept delaying the inevitable.
We called our buddy who had introduced us to our new found friend, we'll call SunnyDelight. Anyways, we agreed to meet with him and discuss a possible purchase. He was actually against us trying the stuff at first because we didn't know what we were getting into. Well we ended up purchasing 2 bottles of Equipoise which I guessed from the pictures on the bottle was for animals. After looking at the bottle for 2 weeks we decided to try it. I went into the bathroom first and tried to give myself this SHOT. Well I figured out that its not too easy to give yourself a shot, not at first that is. So I kindly gestured to my friend to pick a spot and give'r a stab!! I'm glad I decided to wipe my ass after taking... Let's just say it hurt.
We took 1 cc every week, after the sixth shot we both started to see gains in our strength and a little in weight. Either way we thought we were becoming Arnold. We decided to try stacking which seemed to be the next logical step in using steroids. We purchased some Sustanon and Methandrolostone tabs. We each had 10 shots of Sustanon and 100 tabs. It finally started to work, the 3rd week into this cycle I had gained 7lbs and added 15lbs to my bench press. WOW!! finally something I was spending my money on was helping me, I thought. By the end of the cycle which lasted 8 weeks, I had gained 22lbs and was now bench pressing 215lbs. Just to give u a mental picture, I am 5'8 and was approx. 145lbs at the start of this, adequate for being 17. Too small for being 19.
Well we decided to cool it for awhile, about a year. I was almost 20 now and everybody else seemed to be gettin bigger. I went back for more, this time I bought 10 shots of Sustanon, 20 shots of Cypionate and 200 tabs D-bol. I figured this would keep me busy for awhile. I also started into the supplements, mostly the weight gainers and protein drinks. This is where it started to get serious folks. I created my own little schedule for what shot I would take on what day and why, sort of a log book. Believe me after I looked back and seen what kind of an affect it had, you'll want to keep track too. Well the serious face was on and training was my life.
What I am about to tell is absolutely the truth and no lies. I have nothing to gain by lying so believe what I say here. I was training once a day to start (5 days/week). I started with 2 shots of 100mg of Cypionate a week one Monday, one Thursday. Also I took 2 tabs a day of 5mg D-Bol tabs an hour before working out. I won't tell you what my increases were from there in terms of dosages but it lasted about 9 weeks and everything was gone. How you ask? Well thats an easy answer, this sxxt is addicting when your average gain on bench pressing is about 20lbs a week. I give some of the credit to the strict diet I was keeping and the overload of Spirit Shakes (Weight Gainers and Protieins) Near the end of my cycle 1 had bench pressed 330lbs one time. Witnessed by the entire gym, or at least heard. I also went into a curling competition were I blew everyone away by curling 245lbs, 4 times. I was now about 173lbs and very ripped. I admit that this is still small but if I had a scanner I would show you a picture. Then you would see what 173 lbs of solid muscle looks like on a pogo stick frame. This was the highlight of my life, so I thought.
I can't count how many fights I was in but I do know I ended up needing re-constructive surgery on my hand. There were alot of bad things that went along with this new found fame. I was going through girlfriends every other week, (Not so much a bad thing.) I couldn't sit still for 5 minutes. I started smoking pot, I started fighting with my parents, I even spent the night in jail. Now to mention the mental and physical side affects that I encountered, some of which still currently plague me. Carpal-Tunnel Syndrome, Insomnia, Depression, Inconsistent sexual drive, minor "bitch-tit", criminal record and the list could go on. These are very serious and most of the time are irreversible. If you don't think these are, you might as well be writing this yourself because I didn't think so either. Steroids are just as powerful and just as dangerous as Cocaine or Crack. This may sound a little crazy but I believe some of the mental side affects are just the same. Not that I know but seeing is believing.
I would like to dedicate this to my Good friend "SunnyDelight" who took his own life after loosing his leg in a motorcycle accident. Not to make this sound groosim but in his hospital bed he lost over 60lbs in 1 month and couldn't even lift a 15lb dumbell. At the time of his accident he weighed 275lbs and benched 525lbs for 3 reps. Pretty impressive Eh?"
