Going to the gym gives me a buzz

Its one of the things I missed being a drunk,went from 3 on 1 off to less and less then no more gym.Had a nice 1 hr workout back and shoulders.....that's a natural high....also relieves stress...works

I agree! I used to go to the health club 3-4 times a week, but when I started drinking, I dropped to 1-2 times a week and then none at all. I started going back again and it feels wonderful!

Just got back for the gym as well. Couldn't agree with you more it's a great feeling.
Everyone in recovery should commit to the gym it's benefits help

It is the best natural high ,the release of endorphins [don't mind me I cant spell and don't care] can change your day5 x a week for the last 4 weeks.cant remember feeling this good like old times.The breathing exercises also calm me down and erase things churning in my fked up mind.

I used to get a legit euphoria after running or a good workout. Need to get back into it.

I'm eating a peice of toast and getting My gym clothes out now.
I don't have any cable at home and I actually get excited about waching law and order at the gym while my endorphins kick in. I get pretty into it my head "they better catch that perp before I get too tired "
