Going to the gym. 5 weeks straight I have been doing gym and fitness activities. Typically when I am depressed (like I am right now) I drink and smoke my brains out. Which in turn makes me feel worse, more anxiety, more brain fog. Once I got over the sore muscles the first few weeks, I now feel so strong when I am lifting weights. It doesn’t cure my depression or my dark thoughts but, I feel strong (mentally and physically) when I am lifting weights and moving my body. Habits are hard but, I would encourage anyone trying to stay sober to make time for activity.
