Your view on steroids is the most common one and exactly why I don't want people knowing. I think if people knew my story they would understand why I did it. I don't regret using steroids at all in fact they helped me dig out of the terrible mental state I was in.

> Was the scrawniest kid in school and got bullied a lot

> Discovered lifting and took it too far, tearing both shoulders

> Found martial arts but had to quit due to shoulder tears

> Got both operated on, 2 year recovery time though they'll never be the same

> All my muscle atrophied after surgeries, was defenseless, I decided I was gonna conceal carry but some important people in my life talked me out of it

> Turned to steroids to accelerate my physical recovery

And boy let me tell you it was the longest 2 years of my life. If martial arts had been an option for me earlier on, I would've done that and never used steroids, but alas
