Welcome to the site!

Alcohol, certainly in excess, will damage progress. However, once in a while we all want/need to indulge ourselves. It's when you do it each day that it becomes a problem.

As long as you're happy with progress, don't feel bad about cheating on your diet or having a drink occasionally.

As that chump above says, don't drink if you're on orals though!

i drink every weekend, to be honest im out of control.
Il be awake from early friday morning, start drinking at about 7 that nite then stay awake till late sunday usualy with no food. Im not stupid i know im messing my body up especialy as i take ecstacy aswell.
I obviously have a problem and cant see a quick solution to stopping it so what im hoping to try and do is make about 3 weightgain drinks with protein and maybe get a couple of multi-vits in me aswell, do u think this would be ok?

Please no replies saying im stupid or what a **** head i am, i know that already!!
Its an addiction.

TUNAMASTER · 10-05-2005, 03:19 PM

buddy i completely here what ya saying bout the drinkin, it is getting on top of me as well:thing that ****ees me off is that i spend time and effort in the week attempting to get myself into shape and by the weekend feel good and so go out and get propoer fked for three days. I woke up bout three hours ago having been drinkin since friday 1200 am/ to be fair i think i also think i have as problem which no vitamin tab or shake is going to solve:(

sweet_FA · 10-05-2005, 03:53 PM

Everyone needs to unwind once in a while. Ive learnt that being too strict can have adverse effects, so if i feel like i need to unwind, have a cheat day or the training is becoming like a chore........ I have time out. In my case, it does wonders for my clarity and morale.

JohnyLee · 10-05-2005, 05:11 PM

i struggle to gain weight as it is so the little gains i do manage to make get lost at the weekend, i know i need more self discipline but to be honest i enjoy getting off my head.
Every weekend i tell myself just 1nite out and not so much drink +not as much ecstacy.
Come the weekend and its worse than the one before, the amount of ecstacy im taking is getting more and more every weekend. While i enjoy it i still know that its wrong and i can admit its an adiction.

Does anyone know the effects of ecstacy on the body apart from making u not want to eat?

I know what your saying is right but its not that easy mate, i need to change my whole lifestyle and job. Im a DJ u see so im around people that are gonna take E's and to be fair i do enjoy it. I guess i just need to cut down quite a bit and try eat more while i am doing what i do.

As for going camping mate, me and my girlfreind (she dont take drugs) have recently been talking of camping when it gets warmer.

Iv done it for too long and am serious about making a change, id rather be fit and healthy and look muscular than look like im about to drop dead

Drugs and sh*t are soooo not the way forward.

Do you train???
Why dont you go to see a specific coucilor who can help with your drug abuse, or get help from your GP. Maybe a social group help with drug addictions also. Just a thought.

You really need to sort yourself out Mate, before it gets out of hand. Surely as your GF does not do drugs, does this not spur you on to quit as one day she may leave you because of it, or on the other hand you may not wake up one Sunday morning from an overdose etc.

Think about it!:o

i agree with Lauren mate. Your local NHS will have either a CAT or DAT team (Community addiction Team or Drug Action Team) these places are confidential and dont judge you i know i use them quite often to refer some of our kids who have sniff problems. The best thing to do mate is sort it out before it gets a grip ive seen my mate die in front of me through the E's luckily they brought him round but its not a nice sight mate believe me.

Captain Hero · 11-05-2005, 12:31 PM

Mate i used to do pills too (and a few other things to extremes too), all my mates used to do them. I did a ridiculous amount for my first time. Continually did them week after week in stupid amounts too, eventually i realised that it was messing my head up so i packed it in, all my mates were calling me a shambles and that for quitting but i knew it was the right thing to do, my body, my choice. F*ck everyone else mate, f*ck the fact your mates do it just get on with it, its your life man.

sweet_FA · 11-05-2005, 01:20 PM

Ive gotta admit i used to be a sucka for the ol' Bruce Lee's, dancing like a complete t!t and lookin like this >>>>>>

at Wigan Pier etc! Ive calmed down alot as ive got older Ive just lost interest in them . Bit sad when i look back it now. Anyway, theyre cheap and crap nowadays, bring back the mid 90's batch!!

lol jk

I know its out of hand and iv made a 1st step today by going to my GP who is refering me to someone, il be honest though when i say i dont intend on quitting completely as i do like it. I just want to try get a bit of self control so i dont take the silly amounts im taking.

I suppose i sound like im contradicting myself really by saying what im saying.

Its not about doing it cos my mates do, i know iv probably come accross as though thats the reason but its not. On and of iv been doing it 10yrs now and some nites iv gone out on my own and taken a few.
I actually enjoy them its just im worried about the amounts i do in a weekend.
