Ran on a treadmill a couple of times, but then lost steam. Drank and spent time with strippers instead. Still wound up meeting and falling in love with the kindest and most beautiful girl I’ve ever been with, and now I don’t feel the need for the liquor and loose women anymore.

“Hit the gym” is a lie that Big Gym tells you so you’ll get stuck in an un-cancellable subscription. /s

I suppose it’s down to each person and what they feel will work best for themselves, personally I’ve gone back to the gym after two years because of multiple events (including me having to end a toxic relationship) and I found that channeling any anger along with all them feelings that are picking away at your mind into Woking out, really does give you a boost and for me has 100% helped me feel better and is helping me recover from what in my opinion put me into a very dark place in my mind.

It doesn't surprise me that marketers figured out that people going through a break up is an audience to profit from.

I actually only have motivation to workout hard when I'm in a relationship and happy
