We all accept that addiction is a chronic disease and that a commitment to recovery is for life. When you’re on a journey of recovery from addiction, you’ll be called upon to replace your old bad habits that kept you addicted with new, healthier habits that can seriously assist your recovery process. After a long while of being addicted to any substance, you can completely lose your ability to experience the ‘natural high’ you get from the endorphin’s produced after a strenuous workout. That’s why creating and adhering to a disciplined fitness routine early on in your detox and recovery will greatly assist you in your overall rehabilitation.

Get on Top of Your Recovery by Feeling the Burn

When using drugs or alcohol for recreation, you create sensations that are exaggerated natural responses to chemical stimulus. You get a similar sensation when endorphin’s are released that temporarily create a feeling of well-being that acts as a block to pain. Although the high of an energetic workout is not as exaggerated as a chemically-induced one, the beneficial feeling you get if you have a disciplined workout schedule is actually very satisfying.

By replacing your old habits as an addict with new healthier attitudes that embrace high-impact gym or outdoor routines, you’ll find yourself developing an addiction that’s altogether much better for you! The other benefits of regularly working out are a healthier liver – the only organ that regenerates, with care – better cardiovascular health, and an overall improvement socially and financially too.

Forming new habits is a case of motivating yourself to get into a repeating routine enough times to make it a regular part of your day-to-day. The side-effect of this new habit is that fitness filters through all aspects of your life so that you see improvements in your relationships with others, your quality of life, and your general sense of well-being.
