trying to lose weight after getting clean and sober?

theamazingxtina

Hey Im new to all this, just gained a ridiculous ammount of weight after going to rehab and I was wondering if there are any people out there in the same boat who want to be friends and encourage eachother. I attend AA NA CMA and HA so it would be awesome to lose weight with someone in the program.

Feel free to add or message me, I will always reply

Omg! I am going through the same thing! I got sober from opiates and benzodiazepines April 2012 and I have gained 65 lbs! I went to the doctor and she told me my body was in shock from not eating hardly anything for the 4 years I was drugging. This is so frustrating. I have finally cut out sugars and starches and lost 13 lbs but I have a long way to go. I am in drug court so I can't take diet pills because I get drug tested but I want to so bad but they can cause false positives. Good luck and hang in there

Congratulations guys! I'm so happy to hear that you took that first step in improving your lives. It's a struggle that I've watched my mother go through but it's definitely worth it. Addiction is a hard habit to break. Good luck with your new diets!

I'm going through the same thing. I gained 50 pounds after my stay in detox and rehab. Life got real and I got fat. Is this normal? I want to exercise but I feel like I have no energy nor motivation. I would like get moving, I love to exercise.
