It was rough at first. Perhaps the toughest thing about getting sober, though, was realizing how much else I was avoiding with my drinking.

I get depressed. Now that I don't just go black myself out, I eventually tried to find a ~healthy way~ to deal. Working out & running works!

It works for me, that is. In any event, that's just an example that I think of of something ~other than drinking~ that I've changed since.

In a relatively short time, my life is unrecognizable from the direction in which it was heading. For that change, I am so grateful.

Night, all, and let us be good to one another.

There are many studies regarding the mood lifting benefits of exercise. A good, high quality vitamin regimen is also helpful.

Hope you don't mind me asking but how does working out help you? Not being critical, rather seeing if it could help me
