I've been in the gym for 2 years now, I've always been someone whos taken pride in honesty and hard work. Around 8 months ago I got my friend into the gym. He was super consistent and motivated. He's not the skinniest of guys to be fair, but with enough hard work that shouldn't be any issue whatsoever. After all he was working hard and he had me to guide him through it all. For reference I know the ins and outs of nutrition (look into my past threads to see). Come this morning I invite my friend to the gym. Regular day NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. He took a while to get ready for the gym, but that's not out of his character. As we get to the gym we're heading over to the locker room. IM TELLING YOU NORMAL GYM SHIT. I'm doing my normal pre workout routine, such as taking a pinch of sea salt directly before the workout. I've done this since I started working out and it's made a world of a difference. In the midst of my flow state I couldn't help but notice that my friend looked terrified. Pale and sickly looking. I didn't want to make a comment about it not knowing if something might be going on internally. Finally he seems to snap out of it. In fact he's never looked so confident in his life. I can't decipher what caused such a big difference..... at least at time. Then this is where it all changes. As he's putting his backpack into the gym locker something absolutely life changing happens. Something WOOSHES to the bottom of the gym floor.... something had fallen out of his water bottle pocket on his backpack. My heart raced, thoughts rushed. why? why did my best friend have a pill bottle in his backpack? I didn't have time to react, or maybe I was too shocked to do so? I read what the bottle said... ,L-carnitine . It wasn't on the floor long only long enough for me to be able to make out the word L-carnitine. My body got filled with rage. In that moment I wanted to yell at him, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. How could this happen? my best friend of 10 years. The guy who I met in my 6th grade class. That innocent kid taking hard core drugs.... how is this possible. we go about our workout as normal and we part our ways.
Here I am now. The night after this all occurred. I feel hurt, angered, upset... Have I lost my friend to drugs? what else is he willing to do. Does he undermine my advice? not care about MY hard work.... I'm planning on telling his parents. I want to have an intervention. I want things to go back to normal. What could this all lead to?
