Former drug addict, back in the gym, questions

[hashbrown32]

How long you been clean without any IV use? Your veins are still shot?

I actually quit doing The drugs IV around 2015 and started just shooting into muscle because the veins were destroyed then, even though I wasn't 'clean' (on methadone) until a year later. So right now it's been about 8 years since any vein abuse. The problem is that for a couple years (prior 2015) I was shooting up Suboxone pills intermittently along with nasty heroin. Those main veins that run down everyone's arm turned rock hard and eventually just disappeared. There are tiny little baby veins all over the place but from prior experience in medical settings they are not big enough to get blood from.

I'm hoping that losing a little bit of weight (current 5ft11" 220lbs) and getting more muscular will help with regeneration.

I ended up getting a vial of test c in the event that I chicken out and don't go the official route. I have no interest in becoming a pro bodybuilder, just want to be confident when I look in the mirror. Haven't used it yet but I think we all know where this is going...

Thanks for the supportive post. I have been doing a lot more research and sticking with the routine of hitting the gym daily. Just in the couple weeks since my first post I am embarrassed that I was actually thinking it would be a rational idea to hop on anavar lol. Still have my doctor appointment on the 29th to get the referral for a real blood test although I'm not sure how they are going to do it, re: no veins.

This will sound like bullshit but I assure u it’s not I need to have a doctor that knows how tap and artery and it’s guaranteed everytime that how my doctor who was a former surgeon has done it for a few years now right in the wrist. But the nurses and vampires will tell you they can’t or don’t know how but I assure u it can be done if they know what they are doing and do mine like that.

Lol sounds bad the doctor that does it for me only does it like once a year because my veins suck and I’m pretty healthy for the most part but it will blow them vials full in two seconds then u just keep pressure on it and in two minutes I on your way and it doesn’t hurt.
