I have to disagree on the genetic thing. The whole rehab industry, as with anything else, is fueled by profit motive of course.
I got addicted because before I joined sosuave I had health problems and was out of school, isolated from friends in middle school (social development years). I was a bit in my head and socially awkward but not as bad as I thought. I tried a bunch of pills my family had, and unfortunately tried hydrocodone. After that first pill I had a love affair with opiates. Then after the whole female crying wolf scandal and getting kicked out of university, effectively making me feel like I had no future, got involved in dealing for easy big bucks and got on the xanz, got addicted to the money, respect, drugs, women, all of it.
It's just like a drug. As I just said, when I was in the game, I had women who would come to me for drugs and liked the whole bad boy / tough guy vibe I gave. Theyd come for drugs and d!ck. I was happy to make money and fvck.
You get into the cycle that sex is pleasurable mentally and physically. You get those endorphins and it's easy to fvck to rid yourself of emotion. Or get into your emotion, to each their own. I was the former.
Sure, but I'm definitely one with a fast metabolism and I was shriveled after being released from the hospital. Muscle memory is a real thing too, let's not forget. But yes I was severely depleted of nutrients and vitamins. So once I got my nutrition back and my muscles got torn up and built back again they remembered where I used to be. But I made some crazy gains after adding heavy deadlifts into my routine. Got more striated even if I gained a little fat, and put on a lot more lower body mass (I always do heavy squats but DL's added a whole other dimension to my physique).
