Rosie and Staked yes when I see stories like that that is more along the lines of what I was thinking of when i see the the phrase.
Rosie I totally know how you feel about it being no fun and hard to admit. You weren't here yet but back when I started recovery this was one of the places i turned to the people on here and exercise helped me through ALOT of rough times that first year. So i've been where you are sometimes i'm not on here as much but if you ever just need to vent or talk about it you can shoot me a pm.
Yes, admitting weaknesses is hard - I'll be the first to say that, especially since I am one of those who does NOT like to have and show weakness. However, I have come to learn that if you do not show it, how can anyone hear you when you scream for help?
Re exercise, it doesn't help in dealing with stimulant withdrawals. If I have no energy, although I have often pushed myself to train, it is very difficult, and my body can no longer tolerate the abuse that I have and continue to put it through. Since I HAVE to train in order to maintain my health and be able to breathe properly, etc., I canNOT afford NOT to, and therefore, NOT using stimulants of some sort is not really much of an option if I wish to do that.
Between a rock and a hard place (I should be used to that) :sigh1:
