depends on the person. i know people who used it once and stopped. they were usually too immature and not serious enough about training/diet/etc to commit to the lifestyle. this is a lifestyle that we live.. if you go to the gym you know the regulars who you see on a daily basis at the same time as you. and then you know the people you see for the first and last time. there is a reason gyms struggle to grow memberships, its very rare that an established gym in a normal service based city/town with normal growth will actually GROW their membership.. its cause most people end up quitting which the gym has to sign up new people to make up for. this lifestyle isn't for everyone and there is nothing wrong with it.
i know some guys who surf all the time and are obsessed with it. steroids to us is like buying expensive swimsuits and surfboards. or how about the biker dude who spends his money on his jacket and upkeep on his motorcycle. does the surfer or biker give up ? only if they aren't really surfers or bikers. (or i guess if the surfer gets eaten by a shark or the biker kills himself on the road).. how many surfers have gotten bit by sharks and then were right back out there again? or bikers that have gotten into accidents and the day after the hospital are right back out there? its the same thing and if you don't get what i'm saying then you haven't found your bread and butter yet in life which is OKAY. you will eventually and when you do you will become obsessed. I've loved LIFTING ever since i felt that burn in my bicep for the first time at 15 and it was exciting after a few weeks seeing for the first time my skinny ecto ass building that little bit of muscle and i knew that it was working. i can honestly say i am a much happier person on days i lift vs. days i don't. is that an addiction? i dunno, but like woot said earlier in the thread its a good addiction.. something that improves your body
