            Good for you Flip, just dont over do it eh
            Personally I think exercise can play a huge part in getting and keeping sober. Eating well, taking the sups and exercise. Oh and playing an active role on the boards of course.
            Ethanol is a toxic chemical, why would I drink it?

                Hey Flip, been real busy at work and haven't posted in a while but this thread caught my eye. Since putting down the bottle I've been able to be much more consistent about my gym time and I do believe my gym time is one of the things helping to keep me from picking the bottle back up - it's a virtuous circle of win.

                If you're like me, years of attempts at moderation and sobriety really eroded my self confidence and belief that I could do anything consistently. Getting to the gym several times a week not only relieves stress and improves my mood but each completed work out is a bit more validation that I'm getting back in control of my life again. Fitness and weight loss are just side benefits compared to that feeling!

                  Ok brisk walk down(20 mins) - 20 mins Cardio intervalsup hill walking for 10 minutes on treadmill. I have lost 1/2 my strength but ill conquer it - I tell you I will he he. Think the squats with 60kg on the smiths machine mat hurt tomorrow. But I know when you get into it the doms (delayed onset muscle soreness) get less. No pain no gain as Arnie would say.

                        Good job Flip! I keep starting and stopping my little exercise regimes. I too will look to you for inspiration!

                          Good job Flip!
                          I'm working with a personal trainer, I'm on week 4 and boy can I see and feel a difference. If you are sore, try sitting in the sauna after your workout, it helps alleviate the discomfort. Keep up the great work!!!

                            Well done flip-top! I got a bit more serious with my training about 2 months ago, and I'm really noticing a huge difference now. Have become a sauna regular too - K9 you are so right!
