All the friends that I know are on drugs and that is the main thing they always do whenever I am around them. Should I tell them all to eff off and not have any friends and just consintrate on my trainning? I got off drugs and now being around them temps me to do drugs again not to mention the fact that I am probly in jepordy just being in the car with them when they are holding. But like I said it is ALL my freinds so do you think I would be considered a weirdo not having any freinds? I realize this is kind of a personal problem but I figured I would ask you guys anyway.

if they try to convince you to do drugs and constantly bug you about it. then i would tell them to **** off. have you ever tried convincing them to not do drugs? i would avoid being in the car with them too.

I've lost a good few mates to drugs. In the end, the drugs will become more important to them than their friends & they will be a waste of your energy.
I take it they aren't interested in giving up?

You're young dude, you've got plenty of time to make new friends.
If you're tempted to use while you're around them then get the hell out.

Yea, I tell them all the time that they should quit the drugs and that they are addicted but they just don't care. I guess that I used to be the same way when I used to use so I understand their mindset to a certain extent.

That's the problem - their lives & friends revolve around drugs so they feel they will be missing out if they give up (which is probably what you're thinking). Honestly mate - you'll look back on them in a few years and realise what an important decision you'd made in giving up.

Thats the way I am starting to feel. It's like they are turning into fake friends and I have had alot of fake freinds in the past that only ended up turing on me in the end.

Lol, coming from the guy who is thinking about a first cycle.

We all have our drugs we take, some are just different than ours.

When I was right into it at school, there were no "friends" when it came to drugs - everyone was ripping everyone else off & trying to get a better deal that the next guy. That's what drugs do to people.

Different drugs have different effects on the individual, society & the way we deal with others. You can't really throw all drugs in the same boat.

I mean party drugs. I guess you may say that I am a hypocryte for starting steroids while not wanting to use party drugs but they are two different ball games in my book. On message boards I read about guys getting caught for their roids all the time because LE was after them for their party drug usage/dealing. Steroids are one of the reasons why I am beggining to feel like getting rid of my drug friends.

In my mind right now steroids are for building you up while party drugs are for tearing yourself down.

Just get some new friends that have similar interests. These guys your hangin out with now are obviously in a different place than you are so cut em loose.

i agree, lose the friends. they sound like losers to me. get some new friends at the gym.

Drugs are drugs in the end.

If anything, party drugs are more acceptable than steroids. When was the last time there was such a long, drawn out debacle over the last time a major league baseball player did X? I've seen more anti steroid commercials than I have anti weed commercials, plus I hear the tour de france winner actually smoked weed, not steroids before the race. Don't worry, he didn't inhale.

In the end, you and your friends are doing drugs, even if the difference is steroids and X. Let your lifestyles lead you away from your friends, but it IS hypocritical to ditch them simply because they are doing drugs.

Hell my friends still do weed and drink a LOT. I still go out with them, except I am the one chilling with water or getting something to eat instead of getting drunk. They think I am on liver meds and can't drink, but I still get to make fun of them the day after for the stupid **** they did, and hit on the sober chick that night who feels the same way about making fun of drunk people as me (And there is ALWAYS one).

You have non-drug using friends here. I say get new friends. You are right, you could be in the wrong place at the wrong time. They arent worth going to jail for possibly. And dont give in to peer pressure. Stay away from drugs. They arent worth the time, money, and risk.

If you want to keep your friends, ask them politely to keep the drugs away from you and not do them around you. If they are true friends then they should respect and honor that request.

i got alot of pot head friends that i still hang out with.. ive been friends with these guys since kindergarton.. there like brothers to me. when they smoke pot.. they know not to even ask me casue they know the answer. im never pressured into it or anything and they arent really the type youd think would be pot heads. but if they are pressuring you and you are even tempted to use.. why jeoperdize all the time, money and effort youve put into training by doing something that is so meaningless and stupid? if you really want to hang out with them tell them if their going to hang out with you dont talk about it, pressure you, or do it around you.. and if they dont like it.. its their loss and theyre not really friends anyways right?

*** Putting on my Cop uniform for this one ***

Let the friends go. It is so easy to tangled up in their lifestyle just because you are with them. You don't have to be ingesting the drugs to be charged with having them. All it takes is one of your friends not copping to possing them and everyone goes down. Seen it too many times to count. I have walked away from friends who insisted on taking or possessing drugs in my presence. It is not worth the time or expense.
