Recovery: Mental Health, and dealing with what was underneath

I believe my recovery was largely due to the fact that I received behavioral health therapy (EMDR) within a few months of getting sober. Here I am 14+ months later, and I feel my mental health continues to improve.
I’ve been praying for motivation to become more physically active. Today without any thoughts of anxiety I went outside for several hours, raked & burned lawn debris, absorbed the warm sunlight. I was delighted that my body felt good to have done that much moving. I’ve been such a couch potato in my recovery, that I began to worry about the dangers of being sedentary.
Guess that I can no longer say that attending meetings three times a week counts as exercise.
