6 miles later im still sober

i was itching to use so bad today. I kept putting off calling my "friend(sarcasm)" by killing most of the day off watching inspirational videos and music on youtube. Then later I was really irritable and my room mate started pissing me off so bad.

So I got my ipod and just started walking. I retraced how far I walked on google maps and I was surprised to see it was over 6 miles. My body feels sore since I havn't had physical activity in months, but im sober and the urge is gone so mission accomplished for today at least.

Hi there,

Walking is good to get your mind off things. Music, too.

Good to see you here, and hope to hear more about you.

(((projecthope))) - Welcome to SR! Great way to work out the frustrations and cravings! I need to get back to walking, but always did it listening to my favorite music on my mp3 player.

SR has been a huge part of my recovery, so hope to see more of you around here

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

Good to hear you were able to get in a good walk - walks help me a lot, too.

I probably need to turn the volume down on my mp3 but darned if it doesn't feel good to blast my favorite tunes - keeps the volume on everything else down to a manageable level...
