Chapter 29 Resisting Temptations

• Working out six hours a day, every day, and working on an eight hour shift every night, took its toll on him very quickly. Ever since a colleague of his suggested enhancers to boost his energy, he was able to add more hours at the gym and more hours on his shifts, and could still hangout at bars afterwards. Everyone else was using it, it was common for his line of work. They call it 'the helper', which leads to other kinds of helpers, for every different need. Even actors use them too.
• There really wasn't much to do after work, except for bar hopping with the guys. Days were always dark for him because he spent mornings sleeping, and practically woke up at the gym to train until it got dark. The enhancers really helped him cope with his new routine. He watched as his friends snorted and shoved all kinds of pills everyday, but he stuck to his beers and whiskey with an occasional weed when it passed around. Simon had warned him about the drugs, how easy it was to get his hands on them, but also how hard it was to get off it.
• The girls were harder to resist. They were everywhere, constantly shadowing his every move. They were screaming for him when he was on stage, trying to touch him. When he was off stage, they were offering him money to get him to do private sessions, to go home with them, to perform at a party and whatnot. When he was off work, it was even worse, they were offering themselves for free. He hadn't had sex in over three months, the longest he ever went without it. The enhancers he took kept him on high alert, mind, body and libido. He wasn't enjoying celibacy.
