Steroid use in military

[bigboichoi]

You can't make it through training if you don't want it badly enough. My friend, by the looks of it I'd say you don't want it at all.
If you show up to basic at 31 years old you'd better be a fine specimen. You'd better be almost perfect. Perfect physical shape for your age, mature, clean, and carry yourself in a respectable way. You'll be judged harder than anyone else there because you will most likely be the oldest by a longshot. There may be a few people in their late-20's but the rest will be much younger. They'll be young, cocky, the fatigue won't screw them up nearly as badly, and they'll be pissed off most of the time because basic is annoying as all hell. If you aren't able to pull your weight, they'll eat you alive for it. Some things to think about.
I'm looking forward to you proving everyone wrong. The military is a great place for people who don't have much direction in life but it isn't a place for people with no drive and/or ambition. Things can be done to get you into proper physical shape but brother if you've been sitting on the idea of joining for half a decade maybe you just don't want it. There's nothing wrong with that. The military isn't for most people. Most people know that. Maybe you're better off going back to school.

Yeah that's true well the first thing for me is to just get a job and move out man

You guys have been helpful for real man

I'm so grateful it's not worse I could be in jail or something but it's pretty bad rn gonna do some more job apps tonight and see if I can move I have an unforgiving family but I'm not gonna blame them gonna get a job asap no excuses

I understand being fucked up by your upbringing (and I'm actually very lucky...I know my parents at least loved me but the amount of next level toxic shit I have unpacked in my brain as an adult made me realize how shit gets passed down from one generation to the next).

You sound immature with regards to life experience, decision-making, and also with realizing you have the power to create your own life path + choices. (I'm not judging you for that, seriously...I type this coming in peace). Having over-bearing parents (who may even be that way and worse because you have a criminal record...)....but you are also smothered by a situation where the people who raised you can't see how toxic they are and what THEY contributed to messing you up (so the cycle repeats...daily).

1.) Do you have good buddies/friends? Anyone you can room with? Chat with them for advice and listen if you trust them. Maybe even see if you can rent somewhere with them.

2.) consider counseling...if you're unemployed, there probably aren't great options but hell, even an AA meeting or co-dependents anonymous group meeting or some shit like that can be helpful.
- there is value in hearing other life experiences.
- there is value in saying YOUR loved experienced out loud (not necessarily for the rest of the room...but for yourself as well).

I obviously have no idea about your life situation aside from you sound semi-humble (you at least haven't lashed out at those of us who are judging you.... that's good) and you sound smothered (by your parents) and have been unable to create a life for yourself.

All that is going to come out in any job interview...one single mention of "mom and dad" is gonna get you disqualified...and truthfully, you can't fake what you are.

If you know a buddy that can hook you up with a job at a restaurant or some shit (hell, they pay like $15-20/hr in a lot of places these days) START there. Work 40+ hours/week...sweat, make bonds with other humans (and also move outta the house if it's feasible). You can improve your employment prospects with the other 120 hours in a week. (I think you mentioned you are a physical therapist or something...or trainer? Either way, you aren't going to get properly employed with massive gaps in your work history).

Again, I don't know shit about you IRL. I'm sorry you're at a low point but steroids aren't the question or the answer here. You realizing you can and should take responsibility for every life choice every single day will make you an infinitely more productive and happy human. (Even if those choices outrage your parents...trust me, I have some experience in that journey...took my mom 20 years to meet my wife and her grand-kids....oy vey! Lol). Good luck!

P.S. if your parents truly do mean well and you're at home for your own safety/best interest then stay.. otherwise GTFO like by Jan 1...it's a new year coming brother!

Agreed I mean I am still trying the personal trainer thing I've called a few places. Actually one was gonna hire me but it was an hour away I would've done it if I have a car.

The record thing is a problem also that's why I gotta move but it's not like criminal it's driving tickets luckily so won't come up on background check since I never had a DUI.

But it does come up for Uber or Lyft which would have helped me out a lot so yeah it sucks ass. Also I've never had more than a fender bender and haven't had anything in 4 years.

But the reputation thing is no joke being a loser isn't fun gonna try target Burlington Walmart.

Marshalls home good tj maxx they pay every week. Kohl's is every week. Anyway I've been calling a lot of places need to stay of phone

And with my family they are self righteous assholes actually even with tickets u can still be a cop etc but just not in hometown and yeah that makes my situation worse but just getting through it

I stopped taking Prozac cause it makes u ineligible for military actually that shit weakens u and no good for sure

This post is a prime example of how your mind works. Nothing intelligible here, just a big bowl of word salad

Ill keep it simple.

Brain >>>>>>>>> Body

Thats it... Just remember that then ask yourself, did you spend more time today exercising on your mind or your body? Now fix it.

No more roids or peptides until you meet certain milestones.

1 - For example, read a math book (where ever you left off in high school) cover to cover and UNDERSTAND each chapter. Absolutely no drugs of any kind till you finish it. Finish it, then reward yourself. Take a week off, work out or whatever. Then move on to 2.

2 - Then start again. Pick up the next level in math. Keep going till you finish triganometry and algebra 2 (dont worry about calc unless you really like math). Then try other science books. Intro to chemistry, physics, programming, biology, etc. Take your pick. These will challenge your mind to both focus and solve problems. Its a workout no different than the gym but for your brain.

Frankly, without anythig else to do, you can finish a book in a week or two. Its really not that hard if you apply yourself.

Joining the army is not a bad choice. I worked for the military for many years. Met a lot of folks mostly decent and a few exceptional. But as others stated, perhaps step one is shifting priority from body to brain. Forget your lifting and roids. From what I have seen of folks who went down this path, its a rough road financially with little reward because there are too many people doing it and not enough paying clients to make it highly lucrative. Plus it doesnt scale well unless you start opening your own businesses and thats a different level of hard. Just my 2 cents.
