2012, Where did you go? All these great responses for you.

It took me several relapses to get to 6 months. All I remember was that it was all I could do to not drink and get my ass into meetings. Finally I started walking up and down the street. Then started going back to the gym without any specific goals, my only goal was to do something good for myself on top of not drinking. It took awhile to get some tone back and start feeling half ass good again.

There is a good reason why people in AA say to not make any big decisions in the first year of sobriety, heck, it is a full time job just to not drink for 24 hours.

Don't be too hard on yourself. Just go outside and walk. Go up and down some stairs. Easier said then done, but you have to start somewhere.....
