In all honesty, I might have. I hadn't really put the two together till you mentioned it.

After quitting drinking, I started running again. Well, I tried to start running. I would go out in the morning to run but my legs felt awkward, couldn't keep a rhythm and almost felt like I would fall or my legs would just give out. It was like my body didn't know what to do anymore when exerting itself. (God knows I hadn't made my body move an extra inch for a long time!). But I pushed through. Just kept on walking. Then started speeding it up and ran just a bit more each time. Been a little over 3 months sober now and things seemed to have fallen back into place, the awkwardness has faded away and coordination is back. It's almost like I had to teach my body how to move again....like learning to walk again.

Which, in a way....we are. Congrats on 3 days!
