Hi Anthony,
It's been years since I actively participated here at the Secular thread and today thought to check in to see what was going on. I read through your thread and was reminded why I used to come here. It was a resource to find something that worked for me, a source for support and optimism and outside input. It pleases me greatly to see you find what you're looking for here as I did those years ago. I am again reminded of a few important aspects of recovery I need to re-enact, and of a few books I still need to read. Recovery isn't a one-time act, it's a lifetime commitment. So much positive change results in making that decision, to stop using, to reclaim your life and lead the better, healthier life you choose for yourself. Definitely engage your body as well as your mind in your recovery process. Your body will thank you, and I guarantee you you'll appreciate life and living more when you're feeling good physically. The physical, mental, and emotional are all interconnected.
Wishing you the best as you proceed forward!
