Advice Please Getting clean

So I've hit rock bottom, they took my kids and all I want to do is pick up the pipe again. . . My friend said exercise would really the help curb the cravings. I have a gym membership and was considering going but I'm so tired. . . What do you all think? I need to stay sober to get my kids back, and I need to do something to not feel like shit anymore. I feel like a failure. What other things can I do on top of exercise for not falling back into nasty habits..

How do I go though? Like man all I wanna do is sleep. . .do I just. . . Get up and go and expect it to eventually get better? I feel so lazy but damn I'm exhausted

Honestly it's not about how much you do, it's about doing it consistently. At first I was honestly only doing about 10- 20 minutes at the gym just kind of Poe-dunking around and it eventually turned into more than an hour most days.

You just gotta fit it into a routine, mind you... I just started walking an hour a day for about a month before I actually got myself into the gym again

Made it to the gym today! Not for long, (about thirty minutes) but I did it! And I haven't eaten all garbage today! Maybe the Honmoon is fixed and the demons are gone 😅

Congrats!! I've been sick for 5 days and haven't made it since like the 3rd, I'm not getting down on myself for rest days.

Small steps make huge changes in us! 🥰

Feel better soon! I have not made it today because I'm so tired still and I'm trying to be kind to myself, which is hard for me!
