Extra Motivation for today :)

Well i'm making a new post because this will be NOTHING negative or complaining or anything like that.
I just fast walked/jogged my 1st Mile and a half in a very long time.  Even on pills i didn't do this.  I am so focused on getting better that i'm going out of my way to do things outside of the box or what we would normally do during our "Pill Days."  We used to think those things gave us energy when in fact they fooled us thinking it was real energy when in fact it was drug induced.  Like the saying goes what goes up must come down.  My goal at the moment is to be better off than i was before i ever picked up for the 1st time.  I'm giving myself 6 good months to achieve this goal.  I firmly beleive that the more we sit/lay around the worse off we will be.  Our addict minds need things to do and keep ourselves busy.  This is just so crazy my new outlook is the best i've had in a very long time if not EVER! I'm so motivated to kick this shiz out of my life and move on to a new chapter of health and well being.  If you pay close attention there are a ton of people that actually do this daily.  I'm not going to compare myself to them but i'm just gonna call it a "Head Start."  IT'S OUR TIME TO FEEL GOOD WITHOUT ARTIFICIAL WAYS.  The body is an amzing thing and because of that your recovery will start after you've withdrawn the poison from your body.  Trust me when is say this... don't just sit there and think about how bad you feel / felt.  Find yourself push yourself GET UP! It's gonna feel weird but its totally necessary.  WE"VE GOT THIS.  Anyways while i was jogging i said to myself i gotta post how i feel since i haven't felt like this often haha

Ok all take care and lets kick this thing we called "Life" in the butt!

STAY STRONG YOU ARE WORTH IT~

You sound happy right now so get yourself set up with some  sort of recovery care.

Ha, you sound like you are enjoying the "pink cloud." That very happy, motivated feeling some get when they first get clean. Not to be a downer, but I STRONGLY suggest you get into aftercare. That feeling doesn't last and we can't heal our addict brains w/ our own addict brains.

No ****....
I remember being on that pink cloud!  I had rainbows and streamers coming out my arse!!  I posted a thread about being so fricking happy and the comments that came in made me so mad.  How dare anyone rain on my parade.  There was a lady who was 3 months clean and i was so inspired/impressed as that was a ton of time to me at that point so i decided to listen to her.  It was at that point when i knew i needed to listen and follow the ones who had gone before me.
Lol...both of you!!:)
