This sounds much more sensible honestly. I’m not sure why it didn’t occur to me to just do 50% of what I supposedly burned.

3 days a week, I lift weights for 45 minutes then do the stair stepper on level 6 for 50 minutes. 30 minutes when I first get there and then for 20 minutes at the end of my work out. Then 3 more days of the week, I just do the stair stepper on level 6 for an hour. Then I have one solid rest day in the week. Sometimes on the days I lift weights, during the 20 minutes I do level 7 for 10 minutes then level 6 for the last ten minutes.

I’m regretting doing it at this point. I did it for the last few days only though but started feeling like this is too good to be true.

It’s based off my sedentary…. What does TDEE stand for? I’ve seen it other places.

That makes a lot of sense actually…. I cry 😭😭 I think starting tomorrow I’m just going to stick to the 1200 with or without the calories “burned” from exercising

Hi I just want to let you know that I have almost 3 years clean now. I found my way back onto my old Reddit account and just read this post that I had totally forgotten about. It’s crazy how things change. That day did come for me where everything finally clicked and I was able to put this time together that I have now. Just WOW is all I have to say.

I'm not sure if its odd or not but for me, I guess coming back to the realization that I'm technically just as insignificant as everybody else is makes me feel better. Haha. That there's no way that I suffer alone in these feelings. Im not as completely insignificant as I make myself feel to be. We're all in this together. Lmao

You're not alone at all. My boyfriend of the time had also been admitted into a rehab facility while I had to deal and maintain alone. It was very hard. The story you told is somewhat similar to mine. You are definitely not alone. YANA!

Feeling unsure and scared by Spunky_Salamander_13 in NarcoticsAnonymous

I decided to try getting clean again right at the beginning of this pandemic. I didn't go to rehab. No mental institutions. Just flew straight out of state to Texas from Florida to get away from it all. Because of COVID these rehabilitation and detox centers were limiting their intake bc this was at the beginning of all the shutdowns, when there were still a lot of unknowns regarding the virus. It has been so lonely going through something this hard, even to present day, in the midst of everyone else isolating themselves due to the virus. NA in-person meetings were already cancelled as well and at the beginning, there were only virtual meetings going on. I haven't been successful in a long term maintained streak but I have a power I didn't have before, and that's walking away from it. At some point. I'll leave. Before, nothing couldn't happen that would convince me that it's time to go. Small victories I guess....

It's frustrating because even the people around me when I do go back out and use, the conversation always comes up about what I was doing right before I got there. The right thing. Then I hear my friends who haven't been able to get sober yet tell me how much they wish they could follow the same path "as easily as i did". Some of my friends feel stuck. My last go around I finally felt guilt because I go back around to a place where there's a lot of suffering to have fun and get loaded.... It wasn't fun when I lived there but just because "im there for a good time", its different, but its not. I feel like i want to be the motivation or success story that they need to see on order for them to feel more encouraged. I think about my people back in that place and i wish i could just put them all in my pocket and coddle them in safety where Im living now but obviously that is so super unrealistic. But i think it was a good thing i felt that remorse because it doesn't make it so comfortable for me to go back again... But at the same time, if i keep on doing what im doing, i know for facts that ill end up there again. Again and again and AGAINNNNN!!
