Right now I’m on lifetime TRT Doctor Supervised, But I still cycle on what we call safer cycles and I pick the compounds we deem on the safer side now and build the cycle around them. At my age longevity is more important to me than when I was in my 20’s.
Are we addicted?

Just curious, what's on your list of safe cycles or compounds?
Test , Primo , Anavar , NPP all dosed low . I don’t mess with Anadrol , Dbol , superdrol or tren or any of that now. I do use some clen and t3 for short times but not often. My favorite by far is test and primo cycle because I can go low and long with it and feel safe.

For sure aas is not physically addictive
It however in my opinion it is psychologically addictive
Proviron could be added on there too. Interesting you put npp, I didn't know it was much different from decca other then time it's in your system.
I can better control the sides and the duration of the NPP. I find proviron very underwhelming.
I'm not addicted
My time off cycle always meant no cruise and no nothing
The diet i learnt from AAS use is a major improvement for my life even if i never use gear again
Discipline and conditioning from training and planned AAS usage has been the #1 best and biggest contributor to my psycho-social development

That's actually a good way for someone to test themselves. PCT has somewhat become a thing of the past these days. It's even become a dirty word in some circles.
To each his own though, I'm not judging. We all have our vices one way or another.
Man that's a good question. I'd say no. By the classic generally thought of definition of addicted I'd say no. Do I really look forward to it though and have lots of curiosity on it to increase certain areas of my life, and gym life? Yes.
I guess like pizza. Am I addicted? No but do I love it and really enjoy it time to time? Yea. Do I like sex? Are we addicted though? Aas is something that comes with what we see as a benefit. Is it like reading glasses? They aren't natural. Can we read without them? Sure. But it's more efficient with them. I know not exactly the same, but it's something that improves something else unnaturally.
Some may argue AA's have more potential sides. I can't disagree there but I've definitely seen more as time goes on, the legal or accepted drugs. Many of them are as risky or more than a run of test or even some anavar here and there. Look at all the legal drugs out there with other risks. Smokes and booze. And they are potentially addictive.
So I dunno what I'm trying to say. I guess just that it may or may not be a type of non physically addictive but if done right and with any type of research likely no worse than a lot of other things readily available and accepted out there.
Does that make any sense?? Lol.

Totally makes sense. On a level of addictiveness I would say steroids are far below smokes and booze.
If I don’t take a shot for 2 weeks on holidays I wouldn’t crave it like I would if I didn’t smoke for a week.
It’s not so much the steroids I’m addicted to, but the strength and youthful feeling I get. Honestly if I couldn’t get steroids anymore, I’d survive. I might be a bit sad for a bit as I watch my older body change, but I could live on without any major mental issues.
But I like the way you think. The glasses example is great. Just like would you want to pull out a map to figure out where you are going instead of using your phone?
I think of it as more of improving ourselves.
As an example, I had to move a stove from home to work. I dollied it out, tilted it back and easily pushed it in the back of my truck. Same as I easily got it out and dollied it into work. Normal average guy at 53 would likely need some help.
I am most likely addicted both psychologically and physiologically. I have no intention of ever stopping as long as my health is on point, and even then I'd still tweak and adjust, or stop and restart, to work with whatever complications may arise before ever completely stopping.
That said my dosages have come waaay down compared to what I'd have ran in the past as longevity is my goal. Honestly I know that I could stop anytime if I wanted to and deal with the repercussions, but I do not want to. I accept that perhaps using gear will shorten my lifespan, but I'd rather enjoy my life and be all I can be than live a boring and unhappy one.
That said I will certainly require at least Dr. Supervised TRT for the rest of my life now so even if I come off that is still the most likely scenario so coming completely off is never going to happen if we consider TRT as being on.
My only concern is my love for Tren. I wonder for how long I can run the nectar of the gods. I hope forever. Knowing there was a 90 year old road cyclist that tested positive for Tren metabolites is very promising.
