I started jogging after 2 years because I am about to go on a trek. I took up trekking in 2021 and since then it's been my only therapy. Nothing else worked. So I did 4 treks in 1.5 years. I love statistics and data and it is keeping me motivated to maintain (or beat) the distance I cover in a set amount of time. Right now doing 3.75 kms in 35 mins. Aiming to touch 5kms in the next 30 days.+1 for smartwatches
Smartwatches do give you that extra push to go the extra mile, even when you're exhausted and ready to quit.
I am having a hard time moving on. Its been 4 years since I lost my 2nd family (who adopted me) to COVID. Lost my 1st when I was 7 days. Since 2021 there have been small patches of happiness ( mostly materialistic ones but they keep me occupied ) but nothing has helped me move on. The old times were so good and its addictive to keep thinking about them. I lost my first teacher last week and it was like a brutal punch which reminded me how I am continuously losing people. I never succumbed to Alcohol because I thought it's necessary to feel the pain and not escape it. There's only anger that this happened to me all of a sudden and less sadness.
Try the Couch 2 5k app to systematically train your runs.. i recommend starting from week 4 or 5.. since you can already easily cover 3.5km.I started jogging after 2 years because I am about to go on a trek.

Sorry for sharing too much info. I really just don't care about people judging me anymore.
I don't think you should let go of good times of the past because they are the key to any recovery. So cherish them.The old times were so good and its addictive to keep thinking about them.
Your focus is on the losing and not the good times you had with those people.I lost my first teacher last week and it was like a brutal punch which reminded me how I am continuously losing people.
At the beginning when the pain is intense it helps to take or do something that will help blunt the intensity. Otherwise you end up suffering longer. But this needs some care & management.I never succumbed to Alcohol because I thought it's necessary to feel the pain and not escape it.
Normal. Think of the good times you had with them. Imagine they are with you instead of gone. I've always found that helped deal with loss. Its a form of delusion for some but I think the positive effects of blunting hard reality helps on an emotional level.There's only anger that this happened to me all of a sudden and less sadness.
Willpower is your best friend. You have a great degree of it, brother. I really respect the fact that you decided to face your demons head-on rather than take the easy way out, via substance abuse.I am having a hard time moving on.
