You can get mentally dependant on them.

i think it can be VERY mentally addictive... especially for someone who is past their genetic limit, and when they come off, lost alot of size that they can only gain back with gear... i know alot of people who don't even work out unless they are on something...even if its only 200mg of EQ a week, they just need to know they are putting something in their body... its stupid, but true... how can you say its not mentally addictive? its gonna be harder to gain off cycle than on, obviously, and if someone wants to be a certain weight and look, they are gonna realize it takes alot longer without gear, and either give up if they are weak, give in if they can't stay off the juice. I think alot who do one cycle end up doing more and more because its mentally addictive

Your talking about a type of addiction that is self inflicted. A real mental addiction you can't decide three years down the road to put it down and walk away (like Fussell did with steroids before he wrote his book), it will follow you for a long time. If you ever lose interest in bb the addiction goes away, whereas a kid whos lost interest in getting stoned can't just give it up.

true and i read that book one of the best bodybuilding books of all time imo
I know this guys that does roids non stop, well he says he goes 9 months on 3 months off but I dont believe him. He looks like crap, his muscles look like fat, dont look hard . There is no separation, he comes in works out 30 min then goes home, what a goof. And he acts like he's the biggest mother there, yelling and shit. He's a puss. Steroids will make you dumb if you take them over long periods of time none stop, just like it made this guy.

you cannot get phisically dependant on them what so ever. however people say that others are addicted only because they choose to quit. it's just like sex. your not ''adicted'' you just like it. and i got that from the journal of the american medical association

I believe they can be very menatlly addictive to someone that already has some type of disorder.
I'm not sure what it's called but a disorder where everytime you look at yourself you seem small and you think everyone around you is bigger and stronger.
For those people i would say yes they can be addictive.
For an average joe i'd say that the chances of becoming addicted aren't as great but still possible.

I definitely think a mental addiction is possible. true, I haven't done a cycle yet. but like all substances, if a reward from using is achieved (i.e. stoned from smoking, drunk from drinking and so forth) then the ability to gain muscle at a supraphysiological rate seems as though in itself that it could be addictive. Coke could be different, but I know plenty of people that hear the word coke and their mouths will water, even if someone is talkin about the soft drink. Just like all drugs. If you like the effects it brings, then you'll want to continue doing it, I've been reading these boards for a while, granted, its not nearly as long as some of the veterans here, but you know what I am sayin. I read about a lot of people planning their next cycle before their current cycle is even over...the wait must be horrendous. What the explanation for that? there must be some sort of want/need to do more. As for ronnie and other pros, their careers depend on their usage, so mental dependence is out of the question in that aspect.
But someone with some experience chime in, this is only what I think. not to be takin for truth...or experience

I also think it has a lot to do with availability, I've also known people who smoked weed their whole lives, but as soon as they left town and moved to another city, they stopped smoking cause they didn't know/trust anyone to sell to them. and with the whole internet revolution shit, buying gear online is as simple as mail ordering a cd, or some bullshit of that nature.
Edit: too many words, a few that didn't need to be there.

My first cycle, I was banging my wife for a whole month straight, every day. Then I slowed down cause she got sick of it.
of course you can get addicted .i don't think i'm addicted but i was only gonna do 1 cycle but now i'm getting ready to start my third cycle ,i guess the trick is to make sure you do your post cycle therapy (pct) right and take enough time off this is my last cycle for sure LOL
