  1. Hey folks-wasn't sure where to turn for help with this. Completely
    serious, and in need of some good advice.

    My best friend has decided to completely 86 himself from "chemical
    enhancement supplementation". Ahem. He's been cycling for 15 years.,
    as well as recreating with G. He plans getting through it with the use
    of Nubain, which I hate, but says that he needs something to help him
    along with what we both know will be a phenomenally tough year. My
    question: is there a website, a newsgroup, an underground "help"
    network that can help him? He's a scientist for the government, hence,
    can't get any "legit" help without it affecting his status. I'm pretty
    concerned for him. The longest he has gone between cycles was six
    months, and two months into it, he was a basket case. His fiancee is
    moving in with him this week, but I'm fearing for both their
    mental/emotional well beings. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
    TIA.

    Tell him to have the surgery. The sooner he accepts he's really a
    woman, the happier he'll be.

    Your friend is a classic addict. He will not quit drugs of any kind without
    professional help.

    Now here is where you protest that I'm wrong, I don't know him, how could I
    judge him like that, etcetera.

    He's having withdrawals from steroids? Hmm...

    Withdrawal from steroids == drug addict? I think they are different, but
    then again, I'm hardly an expert.

    Sounds like some sort of punchline to a joke told by addiction recovery
    specialists. The guy's classic.

  12. Unfortunately, I'm not a troll. Honestly looking for some real help.
    I obviously came to the wrong place. Didn't know where to go, but not
    here.
    Sorry if I offended all your sensibilities. Not exactly a subject one
    can breach with their general practitioner or pal that doesn't lift,
    ya know?
    Again, sorry I brought it here.

    "Sorry, sorry, sorry"? best you do move on, you'll get eaten alive
    here.
    But again I assert you are a troll. Only a moron would say something
    like "Not exactly a subject one can breach with their general
    practitioner or pal that doesn't lift" and I'll ask "why not?" who
    else would you talk about it with but a licensed professional? You
    think weightlifters are addiction specialists? Well they ARE, but not
    in a good way like a medical professionals. This isn't the place to
    seek advice on getting OFF roids, but a great place to get them, and
    advice on taking them.
