I meant it was nine days since you posted. I was just checking on you. I’m glad you’re still sober. You’re at six months now. That’s great!

I’m getting close to eight months. It’s peaceful where I am now. It seems like you’re more relaxed now too. Don’t hesitate to ask for help if you get into a tough situation.

Yeah. I know what you mean. I don’t like to admit that I’m struggling. Honestly I’m not though, haven’t been for a while. Still I know I have to admit it if I am. The best thing is to bring everything to the light.

I tried getting into fitness and starting some sort of regime. I couldn’t do it. Just couldn’t find the motivation.
Until I found a goal to work towards. I booked on to run over a mountain so I had to get fit. Thing is, once you start you enjoy the feelings from all those endorphins.
I will admit it can sometimes be hard to get going. But it is worth it.

I think MANY of us do. Asking for help is a form of vulnerability. I may be sober right now but I still struggle to be vulnerable.

I understand that. I’ve just gone through a period where I wasn’t doing anything. Didn’t feel like it. Just no motivation.

Yes it is a good food place :slight_smile:

You are getting fit… By the day spiritually…
Take the time, I found myself crying over my weight gain 2 months a go an just 3 weeks ago started doing a bootcamp every week. Will add kickboxing starting next week.
When you ready mentally it will come, please don’t force it if your mind isn’t there yet.

Be kind and mild, you are fighting the toughest fight of your life ATM. “Get clean or die trying” should be a movie title
