Welcome to HCU!
Just get back into training slowly so as not to risk injury. Start with stretching and maybe a bit of cardio to get muscles warmed up and the blood pumping, then start your workout. If you have been out for a year, expect to have a rough period of about 2-3 months before things get smoother and easier. Just watch the weight in the beginning so as not to risk tearing muscle or tendons.
In the end it will feel great!

Great! That will pay off well if you factor in muscle memory.

its been a long time....
long story, short version. I fell off the wagon pretty bad. let the addict show its ugly face again. lucky for me, my wife let me stay. it was hard at first, had a few bumps in the road. but I can now proudly say, in two days ill have 6 months clean.
also, our youngest daughter starts vpk tomorrow, which means ill have about 3 hours to myself for the first time in a couple years. I bought a 1953 buick to work on and keep me busy(have to get it from Michigan to florida first) so, for now, ill be getting back in the gym. I'm really out of shape. I will stay natty for awhile, then will only use orals. I don't want anything to do with needles anymore.
ive missed being on here, I know there was a great bunch of guys here. hopefully they're still around.

Hey welcome back. Cool that you're getting back on track. We all fall from time to time. The important thing is that you get back up, dust yourself off and get back at it.

thanks man. its been a hard road. I can say ive learned a lot about how and why an addict is the way they are. most people think they know, but really have no idea. the subconscious mind is very powerful, and when you lived most of your life looking for instant gratification and living in the moment, its hard to retrain your subconscious. this last six months ive made a lot of progress, learning how to see my future self as a positive, productive person. I want to move on with my life, leave the addict behind.
sorry for the rant, lol.

Welcome back [MENTION=188]2redstars[/MENTION] and hopefully you will stay clean this time. Hit the iron more and that will take your mind off that nasty stuff.
