Default Using steroids/PH's around family.

I just wanted to see for those of you who do use either steroids or PH's, what do you tell your family?

Meaning, if you had a bottle of Methyl-1Alpha or SD. Do yout ake it in private? Do you tell them they're vitamins? Or what if a pin is found? What do you tell your wife?

Just a topic to start. I'm not looking for advice of any kind, more or less just wondering how it's tolerated and what ways it's looked upon by family, most particularly spouses.

That's good. My girlfriend gets scared at everything I take. She once thought I got the flu from NO-Xplode, same with my friends.

I don't take steroids, but likely will once I've hit natural peak and older, as I turn 21 in a few months.

Also, NiteHawk, if you don't mind me asking, aren't you Christian? If so, what's your perspective from that point of view? If you aren't, my bad.

I would probably hide it from my family if I was on AAS/ PH. My GF would probably get pretty mad, but she is an intelligent girl and if I explaned everything to her in black and white and showed her some literature she would probably be ok with it...That being said though, I am a long way from using any gear...

I always said I'd use roids at some point, they don't understand steroids but my dad definitely understands my desire to get big...

it all depends from case to case, some ppl are comfortable and some are not to tell their family. I chose not to tell anyone and keep it to myself, this way is no discution about anything. Many ppl have seen that I got bigger but it was a gradual process and I just did not blow up overnight as some ppl on gear do then lose much of that gain which makes it harder to hide.

My parents know. I actually had a bottle of my test sent to my home by accident, and although I didn't tell my rents exactly what it was, they sent it iver to me and said "We trust you, but we hope you know what you are doing."

My roommates know and don't care. They are pot heads, and figure since I don't smoke and drink, I just have different drugs than them. Plus half my friends think I am on steroids since a few years ago so nothing is new :P

That's cool. My mom would flip out. My dad probably wouldn't care, but there isn't much he cares about anyway.

Like I said before, my fiance and her family (which is basically mine as well) think I get sick from NO-Xplode. My good friend did, too. I think it's really a case of people fear what they don't know. This is the same friend who doesn't do squats because "they're terrible for your back."

I personally dont think family have to know, its like i wouldnt make a list of all the supplements i take and read it out to them, if your happy with what your doing nothing else matters its your body and if your over 18 or 21 in some countries then its your choice, If your girlfriend/Wife or mother doesnt aggree with steroids then they dont need to know, thats my opinion anyway.

I told my parents I was taking testosterone as HRT. I dont think they put 2 and 2 together cause they didnt seem phazed at all. Im sure if I had just told them I was taking steroids they wouldve fllipped being that my mom is a retired nurse. I honestly think when you tell someone your taking testosterone, for whatever reason they dont equate it with steroids like they would if you said you were on Deca or Winny. Those are household names as a result of this whole baseball/juice issue. Honestly though, im 35 and really dont feel the need to explain anything to anyone(except my wife) but ppl were starting to talk. Lol.

Oh, by the way, when I injected melanotan II, not only did my rents take an interest in it, but my mom wanted to know how to reconstitute it and watch me inject it. I have cool rents.

I know just about all natural organizations have PH's banned but in my honest opinion, I still feel the person is natural should he choose to go that route.

How are PH's any different from steroids? They need a pass through the liver but the end result is the same, you are on steroids.

Yea, you can be legal if you use them, but call a spade a spade.

LMAO, someone negged me and called me a weirdo for my post a few up. Too bad they are so new it didn't have an effect on my rep points
