Taking Your Life Back

This post is about taking your life back once you are sober from your addiction. This is very important and at least in my case, I never truly realized how much of my own life I gave up for my addiction.
For example, I have been consistently lifting weights at the gym for almost 4 years now. Currently I go once a week. Yesterday I went after a very long hiatus and I found myself wondering when I was there last. Because I document all of my workouts, it didn't take me long to find out. October 19th!!! That was a few weeks before I became sober. I gave up many workouts at the gym in order to see my qualifier. After I implemented NC, I was going through withdrawal and then the holidays were here. So I am pretty fricking happy that I finally went back yesterday. Today I feel fantastic, I am just incredibly sore. But it's a good sore! 😊
