¨I wish I did not take Steroids to reach my goal.¨
In the 1990´s, I put in five years in a gym trying to bulk up, spending $200 a week on legal supplements from the health food store where I worked. I could never get myself to weight more than 150 pounds or lift more than 185 pounds on an incline bench.
Within 20 weeks of starting on steroids, I weighted 200 pounds. People would come into my shop and ask me, ¨Does Patrick still work here?¨ Eventually I could put on three plates¨ - that´s 350 pounds - and do 15 reps and the last one went up as quickly as the first.
Eventually I was injecting three drugs a day: experts say injectable steroids cause fewer problems than pills. Hospitalized with the bloody urine of kidney damage, I just laid off the orals and doubled my injectables.
Then everyone noticed my bouts of rage.
It was happening in traffic and even at work. The cops were even called there. On the rare occasion I went a day without going after somebody, I´d make a mental note of it: ¨Hey! I didnt go after anybody today.¨
Once, I jumped out of my car to fight someone and realized that I had left my car rolling forward with the door opened and my baby in the back seat.
Quitting with a psychiatrist´s help had turned me into the incrediable shrinking man, I dropped to 160 pounds. My hair which was thinned by steroids did not return.

Stories about athletes and steroids seem to pop up regularly in the news. Some professional baseball players, cyclists, and track stars have been accused of — and in some cases have admitted to — using steroids to give them an edge competitively.
