Care to elaborate? Sorry man, this is a long thread. Or just direct me to a post you've already answered this lol
I only ask because I struggle with this myself.

I used to bodybuild when I was younger, and was extremely dedicated to it. Then with the bodybuilding lifestyle came the drug use and partying. Started with benzos to sleep, then to chill out, then pain killers, then coke and a mix of all of the above. When my fiancee and I got together we we're both in great shape, I was about 189 and sub 10% at the time. Pretty fuckin yoked for a small guy like me. We drank and partied, eventually quit going to the gym. Fell on some hard times, kept drinking, then got well off and then the coke came back around. Then it became more and more coke and alcohol, to the point where I was staying up a couple days straight and using coke to function for a long time. Turned into a dark road, hermited up and did way too many drugs. Lost every ounce I had gained and got fat along with it. Eventually the coke/money dried up and it was just daily drinking after that. I was able to beat the coke but I was still worthless. Then came the health problems, high BP, and a heart arrythmia that had been developing over time from the extreme electrolyte deficiencies and swings to the vagus nerve in my heart. Developed a pretty bad premature ventricular contraction that's become permanent. I decided almost exactly two years ago to stop and start bodybuilding again. I had my relapses with alcohol, but I've finally gotten completely past that and have become dedicated to being a better man to my woman, and a better person to everyone around me. I work hard, lift hard, eat nearly flawlessly, and strive daily to be better than I was the day before. Sometimes it's really fucking hard and I struggle with eating right and everything, but I still push through it because it's what keeps me sober and doing the right thing.
One thing that has helped me a ton is working with tren2k14 as my coach. It really helps keep me on track and takes a lot of the thinking out of it. I think though all day, so it gets hard to put the thought into this too.
