Do we have any other runners in this group? I have found that it can be hard, painful, grueling, challenging, and incredibly humbling. Challenging myself to run, when I just want to escape by doing nothing is always the better option. My stressful day/ situation melts away and even if I feel like crap due to the heat, fatigue, or non-stop hills it’s better than a hangover 100% of the time.

Any program of recovery that excludes physical activity is likely to be incomplete. Just make sure not to overdo it (as we addicts are prone to do, haha).

Omg this was me! I’ve been addicted to running and took it to an unhealthy level running “through” injuries thinking I was tough but just did permanent damage to my back.

Great advice to not use running as a “healthy” addiction. There is no such thing

Me! I started running while quitting smoking at a few years sober. It’s been a complete game changer. Couldn’t run around the block to ultra marathoner. Many of my closest friends are runners in recovery.

Runner right here. Did 10K today. My therapist at rehab was “concerned” that I was addicted to running because I’d wake up at 5:30 and run laps. I just didn’t want to get fat on institutional chicken 3X a day!

Hi guys, urgent suggestion regarding feeling overwhelmed at work

I don't know why but lately since the second wave of the pandemic has started, I have been feeling very overwhelmed at work. My manager is mostly a supportive and smart person but due to recent changes in teams his workload has also increased a bit.

I don't know if its work or just the pandemic but sometimes even looking at emails feels dreadful.

How should I talk to him? Please help. He is OOO next week, I need to do distoday

I’m sober curious. I’m also about to help a new non-alcoholic spirit company with their launch.
I have a question for people in recovery. If a brand were to contend that sobriety is a spectrum, or allow for that to a least be part of the conversation, how does that make you feel? Are other brands doing a good job of being inclusive of people who are truly sober?
(I get that NA drinks / spirits can be triggering for people in recovery)
Thank you.

My boyfriend of a year got a DUI this weekend and has had drinking problems in the past. He fully admits he is an alcoholic, and will do therapy/go to AA moving forward. My therapist suggested I be a “computer program running in the background” and essentially leave him to allow him to work on himself. This is obviously a really hard decision, and I feel like I should listen to my therapist, but my heart is pulling me the other way. Anyone else been through something similar or have advice?

I’ve already had cervical cancer (last year) and have been cancer free. Now have a hormone replacement specialist I have to see annually. Yesterday was the visit and she randomly decided to do a breast exam and found a lump. Couldn’t get me in for a diagnostic mammogram until next week. Came home and relapsed - it was not a full-on bender but I drank. How do I not beat myself up and just get up and keep going? Alcohol is the WORST thing for any cancer esp breast cancer. WTF is wrong with me!?

Facing a tricky situation and never dealt with this stuff before 🙃 - I generally dont smoke/drink, its seen as taboo in our culture and our household. I have a younger sibling who just finished college this week. I know he ocassionally consumes alcohol which tbh not too surprised/worried abt. Recently heard from one of his friends that they are worried about his smoking habit and was totally blind sided. Apparently its been going on for 2 months and he recently upped it to twice a day..(cont)
