Depressed???

I was going to put this in the health and fitness forum, but decided I wanted to let everyone in on this.

I have had mild depression (maybe more than mild) in the past, and since I quit drinking it has almost gone away, but the last couple of days I was slipping back into it. It wasn't anything that would make me want to drink, but it was pronounced. Then I realize that I hadn't lifted weights/worked out, (which was an original part of my recovery plan) aside from my daily walks in the past 4 days because I was sidetracked with work. Well I put in a good hour of push ups/weights and ab work, and I feel like a million bucks. The endorphins are flowing again!!

If you are feeling depressed instead of reaching for the bottle or taking a nap hit the gym, or your living room floor and get a sweat on....it will do you wonders!
