Continuing my education

[CWB]

Hi, I'm 31 years old 6' 210lbs. I'm also a type 1 diabetic recovering alcoholic/addict that was diagnosed with hypogonadism in March of this year. I spent 15 years as a drunk junky before finding my rock bottom and deciding to make some changes. A week out of detox I joined a "gym" in hopes of sweating out some of the crazy going on in my newly sober mind. The gym became my sanctuary. A place where I was in control of changing something I had been ashamed of my entire life. At my heaviest, I weighed almost 300lbs and when I joined the gym around 250. The gym gave me a way to do something positive in building a body that my mind could be proud to live in. After learning about over-training and toning it down a bit I still couldn't understand why I felt like shit all the time and couldn't make strength gains. I had a job and insurance so scheduled some blood work. This is when I was diagnosed with hypogonadism and started on 200 mg Test cyp EOW. My quick little research said this may be the answer to many of my issues. Instead, I felt worse and the real research began. After months of fighting with my doctor, an endocrinologist, and 2 urologists, the mental and financial stresses became to much and I decided to take the majority of my medical care into my own hands. For my HRT I run 200 mg test cyp a week; injecting 100 mg Mon and Thur 250 iu HCG EOD and .5 mg anastrozole EOD. I'm currently running a 12 week blast with 1000mg Test cyp, 560mg Tren ace EW weeks 1-12 and 150 mg oxymetholone ED weeks 6-12 along with .5 mg anastrozole, .5 mg prami, and .25 mg dutasteride ED throughout. I decided to register after falling in love with your home chemistry section and am hoping I might be able to contribute in some way while furthering my education in this area.

Thank you Spadude. Congrats on your sobriety! I hit 2 years clean and sober January 13th and I can remember walking down the street a few days before hitting 6 months thinking to myself holy shit Im really doing this Im really doing this and feeling proud of myself for the first time in forever. I am so grateful for this life so full of hope desire and drive. I feel theres nothing I cant accomplish if I truly give it everything I have. "Stay strong"

Congrats on the two years CWB. That's a long time and any one of us in recovery would know that. Awesome!! I am right where spadude is. Not a drop. Life is so much better living healthy. I got so much energy. The most important though is my son respects me more. That's pretty cool!
