I've always known that excersize is a great tool in staying sober. When I work out I have absolutely NO desire to drink! It's odd how the craving is just lost. Like mentioned earlier, the natural high is much better than any drunken night. Instead of intaking lots of calories and waking up feeling awful, I sleep well and wake up well rested!
I just recently joined a gym again and am in the process of becoming ADDICTED! This is one instance in which I appreciate my "addictive personality." It has healthy results! I honestly sit at work EXCITED for the moment I can go home, change, and go workout.
I find it amazing you manage to run out in the snow, tommy! Dannggg...I personally don't think I could withstand the cold! Keep up the amazing work!
