How soon have you started exercising after recovering from your addiction?

What was your addiction and how many days clean are you?

I just can't wait til I can exercise and lose all this weight I gained!

I was addicted to vicoprofen and anything else i could get my paws on.  Today i am 731 days clean.  I was told from the first day i posted to get up and move as much as i could right away.  Sometimes it was just walking around the house or to the corner.  Each day i went further.  The weight will come off so try and be patient.  I no longer gorge myself with ice cream now and eat much healthier........sara

I have 245 days clean,my addictions are alcohol and codeine,I was going to the gym before I quit, I was doing 3 sessions a week after I quit I pushed that up to 7 sessions in 5 days,I relax on the weekend,doing more sessions helped take my mind off the withdrawals it kept me busy and I haven't looked back,In 8 months I've lost 22kg or 44lbs.
