M/26, Life after heroin addiction. 3 month progress on stronglifts 5x5.I'm so happy I can finally post to r/fitness. Today is a special day for me because I have officially been clean and sober for 1 year. Heroin completely devastated me, it ruined my life and the worst part is I can only blame myself. 1.5 years ago I overdosed behind the wheel and woke up in the hospital, in handcuffs, bitter about still being alive. I wanted to die. But life keeps going. I went to rehab and after a couple hiccups and a lot of work I finally found the strength to overpower my addiction. Every day since then I've worked hard to make myself a tiny bit better than the day before. Now that a year has passed it is truly amazing to see how much has changed. 3 months ago I decided to start the stronglifts 5x5 program. My results aren't spectacular but I am pleased with them and they are definitely motivating me to work out harder and harder. http://m.imgur.com/o5st1Ux (the before and after) Thanks for reading this. And thank you r/fitness for all the motivation. If you are struggling with addiction please talk to someone and get help, no one deserves to go through that hell. submitted by /u/sometimesballin [link] [comments]
