Running is very good activity. It releases natural endorphines giving a high like feeling. I got addicted to it, but it's better than substances...

Beginning feels just terribly boring and annoying but once you get it going, maybe after month of so, it'll start to feel good.

Just keep very slow pace in beginning an take it easy. 2-3 times a week. 20 minutes first 2 weeks, then 40 minutes. You should start enjoying it in 40 minute runs after you've been running 15-20 minutes.

I have spent a lot of free time on this website to take my mind off of wanting to get high. I also play words with friends or other games to keep my mind busy. I have found that this helps me tremendously. And idle mind is my devils playground. Also exercising, walking, meditation, reading a book has worked for me as well. Some people love meetings..

I get off the computer because it's a gateway and go outside, down the street, to the park, feed the birds...

Find a hobby other then web surfing till I break the cycle
