Day 9 -- that rocks!
Take the exercise slow, but steady. Try and get a little each day.
My own experience in getting sober was that it was often the nourishment of the body that comforted my spirit. I was in pathetic shape physically when I first quit. Whatever happens inside our brain when we exercise helped tremendously. Eating wasn't easy at first -- no appetite and a long pattern of crummy nutrition in addition to the booze. Try to eat as nutritiously as you can. Keep it simple -- lots of fresh fruit and veggies. Same for being outdoors -- the more sunlight and fresh air, the better. I'm convinced it helps, too.
You're doing great. There will be hard times. Come here when they occur. And be here here for the so-so times and the good times, too. I'm convinced that the support here can make all the difference.
You can do this, Frank. You
are doing this. You're about to hit double digit days of sobriety. I think for most of us, there was a time when that milestone felt about as achievable as flapping our arms and flying.
Turns out, it's a lot easier.
