A dad-of-four tragically took his own life after becoming addicted to steroids used to bulk up for his wedding.

When Sarita Egan and her partner, Mark set a date for their big day in July 2013, the 35-year-old started taking steroids in the quest to look his best.

But after their honeymoon, Mark struggled to kick the habit and found himself suffering from withdrawal symptoms.

Realising he needed help, the normally happy mechanic, from Dublin, Ireland, got in touch with his local GP.

But his wife claims he was stuck on the waiting list for help with addiction for two years.

Tragically Mark took his own life in June 2017 after experiencing multiple episodes of psychosis.

Who did he think he was, a Mandelbaum? Sad.

My knowledge of steroids is limited but the concept of “addiction” here seems incorrect to me.

I mean, if I really, really liked veal parmigiana I suppose I could claim addiction. But this is just gluttony or simple lack of self-control. And if I wanted it to end and killed myself, then it’s simple suicide. I don’t think “addiction” is the right term.

It really is someone else’s fault you see....

Huh?

She said: “Mark started using steroids in the build up to our wedding - they’re legal in Ireland and neither of us realised the danger of them.

Idiots! A man did not die from being addicted to pills. A man killed himself. There was no reason involved.

He might have been in better shape for his wedding if he and his wife took vows BEFORE the four kids. Priorities?

[NorthMountain]

Is that his brother with the long, bleached hair?

Great way to prepare for a honeymoon: bulk up your muscles, shrink your junk.

Genius!

[moovova]

It’s a shame Algore hadn’t invented the internet by then. Hubby-to-be could’ve done a little research and decided steroids weren’t worth it.

[ConservativeMind]

Steriods aren’t addictive.

Vanity is.

LOL!!

Yeah but look how much money they saved !

[CGASMIA68]

were they her kids ???

[HotHunt]

Not to be insensitive to this woman's loss, but it looks like the steroids also helped her bulk up in, how should I put it, in "certain areas", as well.

Just pointing that out.
