Oh it was ruff first few days but I figured what the heck if I can't sleep might as well do something my question is can I get hooked on walking I can't do without it . It really helps plus I'm a stay at home dad before when my wife would come home nothing was done now that I'm clean and off them demons she has had no house work cooking nothing to do when she comes home I'm loving that part but does the not being able to be still go away  see I love  football but sat I couldn't watch one quarter will that go away or does it become routine.

Congratulations and welcome!  Glad you have a support system.  This site is filled with kind, encouraging and supportive people that understand everything you are going through.
I'm on day 15 as well and have had horrible cravings today; if I had access I know I would use.  I hope you have cut your sources.  
I'm glad you are exercising; yesterday was the first day I was able to be active and it was only a 10 min walk and I exercised for 30 min this morning.  I have to hand it to you on that; pretty amazing feat while going through WD.  
Keep posting and sharing; we are all in this together!

Welcome! 15 days is amazing. The mental tends to hang around a bit, but each day gets better. Do you have a support system?
