Pyschological addiction to AAS

Anyone here feel like they may be flat out pyschologically addicted to AAS? I feel like I may have built up a pyschological dependance, or I'm just so obsessed with my body and bodybuilding that all I can think about is when I'm gonna get on next.

I love this shit. But everything needs balance. I've been B/C since I was 22. I'm 25. I'm trying to take a year Cruise on 200mg Cyp. I've been blasting with mostly 10-12 weeks in between to this point. Once perma blasting. 7 cycles in now.

I'm worried I'm fucking addicted. I'm in the gym, and I'm like fuck I can't make as much progress because I'm not on. I'm eating food like fuck, I have to eat insanely calculated (down to every cal and macro) or I'm gonna lose muscle or add fat. God forbid I fall short on sleep. And first thing waking up in the morning I'm thinking about blasting. I may be addicted, if it is possible.
Athletics, and now physique building has truly come to best represent my identity since I was a young child. My identity is so wrapped up in being a top performing athlete, and it's what makes me feel the most happy.
I have career, and relationship success. But somehow it's not enough.

The sooner you cut off everything, the more chance you will have to achieve full restoration, there was a guy here who recovered after 5 years of blast and cruise and get his test up to 700s (Under 30 years old and It took 5 years taking PCT drugs)
 
Gear affects dopamine and serotonin. There have been many studies on this. So absolutely one can become chemically addicted.
Don't believe me. Search it for yourself instead.

A real urologist or endocrinologist will prescribe 200mgs every 2 weeks for HRT. I have known many guys and myself who have been prescribed as such. I am a hair over 6' and 248ish Im now 50ish but when I was prescribed this amount I was 42. I also know plenty of guys that got HRT at anti aging clinics and that's a different story. lol I think they make their money by being far more flexible with amounts and substances.

Now, from a whole other perspective: you don't have to follow your mind or desires- you can just watch them. If you're the thinker who's the hearer or experiencer of your mind/thoughts?
If you can realize this deeply on your own- it is the beginning of true awareness. You can liberate yourself from your own mind.
Once free as your originally created essence you will connect to much more than just your own mind and that is very fulfilling but at the same time you feel very light. Almost high even.

So why am I speaking(which requires thought)all this guru mumbo jumbo? Bc those that are truly free from addiction after being addicts eventually come to realize this truth: addiction is a spiritual issue.
That's how what I say applies.

. I don't want to say too much.
Whatever I said is my experience. I can't say it's right or wrong or truth or lies or any other dualism. Take what you can use and diregard the rest.

Don't mentalist it look into it for yourself and find a way to practice it to find your own experience.
 
No one is perfect; and no one can judge another. Addiction is a very deep and broad word, and the severity of which veries between individuals. So rather than judge you, there is NO ONE here that cannot empathize with you. The world of anabolics is not and should not be for everyone, yet I would stand by you and say it comes natural (ironically, LOL), to you. As naturally and “addictive” as it is for you to be in that gym..but be wise and prudent in your actions. Keep a close eye on your bloods, and build a transparent relationship with your primary doctor, if you can. In closing, at the very leaset, time on equals time off. Good luck. Be safe. Be healthy. BTW- donating blood also has negative physiological consequences. Hematocrit is vastly misunderstood..it’s not as simply as “thickening” of blood. Anyway. Good luck.

Can your primary doctor report your AAS use to your employer? What's the deal with that...
My insurance is also through my employer If that helps.

Congrats on thinking they way you do, at 25 I thought I’d live forever!

Here’s my 2 cents, at age 41, I look back at what I did at 25 and wish I would have done things differently...

Now I’m on trt and wish I was natural

With that said I think you are being reasonable with one blast a year, I’d probably not cruise but pct at your age and you may wanna avoid deca (one of the worst for Hpta recovery)

Never! Against the HIPPA law...Your doc can NOT release any of your info to anyone that you do not list as a someone permitted by you in writing. Only a court ordered subpoena and even then, there would have to a substantial justification.

To get life insurance the life insurance company required all my doctor notes. If I declined my life insurance would have been declined

Never did an AI at the beginning and few years back spent 5k for surgery.

Never did hcg so my sperm count was zero, had to do 3 rounds of IVF (which I think is a blessing cause I have 5 wonderful kids)

Blasted deca in past so my TT 4 months off was 158.

Had a vericocectomy at age 32 and never checked my TT after (which I think the vericocele caused my low T). After my wife got pregnant I hopped on and blasted deca again.

Look back, gains quickly fade, sides stay... should have cycled prop with oxandrolone for 6-8 weeks twice a year at younger age.

But all in all, 41 now, still have my hair, health, job, wife and kids so very happy. Wish I wasn’t on trt and was natural. On trt I feel like I have a green light to blast and I stopped and thought last night, damn, I’m currently taking Crestor, test 500, deca500, 50 mg oxandrolone, .5 arimidex EOD and 300 iu hcg every 3 days and 2 iu hgh nightly and I’m like WTF am I doing? Lol

Sorry typing with 5 kids around so may be a bit scattered...

Btw, after this blast sticking with trt and hgh for a long time...

Good man. Sounds like you've had quite the journey.

You see, a deca guy and no hcg

On average, how many blasts per year?

No way...I have never heard or experienced anything of that sort. Both my wife and I have life policies, her’s most recently..they did urin and bloods right at the house.

It’s true.
Doubled my life insurance from 2 mil to 4 mil, they got my pcp notes 100% fact

They was an issue with a fax so I had to personally go there and have them fax again. Why would I make that up?

Get a load of Alan Watts over here. This is exactly the introduction to Zen that most addicts (and modern humans in general) need in order to exist without suffering. You are not your thoughts, you are not your body, you are not an "ego", you are a protrusion of the universe, a portal which the everything is using to look out at its own inside.

So why am I speaking(which requires thought)all this guru mumbo jumbo? Bc those that are truly free from addiction after being addicts eventually come to realize this truth: addiction is a spiritual issue.
That's how what I say applies.

Addiction is clinging to suffering, whether is be substances or behaviors, desires, or the foolish manner of analyzing existence through a made up system of symbols called words.
 
i just got off trt at 26 old now, been on 2 years, last year without hcg, didnt do any pct, first month i was tired but now feel great. i would never do pct, makes me feel terrible.
