I HAVE DECIDED to manufacture my own happy-chemicals through diet and exercise because this is what I wrote just now: Oh my head is running out of happy chemicals. I feel very stressed, or rather I did earlier. All about an appointment.So instead of popping a Valium or two I'm going swimming, which I like. And I'm sure afterwards that I'll feel better.
The idea that heroin completely disrupts the body's natural opiates, the endorphins, that you access through exercise, is patently untrue. Because I feel better when I go out walking.
I'm a heroin addict (actually a methadone addict) and I do feel better when I go out walking. So I must still have active endorphins.
If walking makes me better, swimming can only make me Much Better.
Queue into this today's Morrisons trip. Donuts. And not only Donuts but Raspberry ones. Now I'm going to have to do twice as much swimming. I haven't thrown any out of the window (yet) so I live in hope.
And how was your day? Did anybody do any swimming? I need COURAGE PLEASE to get my stark naked body into that pool. Because that's what it's going to be like that dream even I have had (as a child) of going to school, going wherever and being stark naked. And that's what I have to do. Strip off (in a cubicle; they DO have cubicles still, right?) strip off in a cubile and be As Good As Naked in a pool full of strangers who all want to swim boring lengths when you may as well time yourself and swim all over the place as I do. I do stuff like breathe out then sit cross legged at the bottom and make the lifeguard think I'm dying.
So how was your day. C'mon. Comments please:~~~~~~~
Illustrated: this is exactly how I look when I'm swimming. And if you believe that you really Will Believe Anything..!

Well, we've had Italy's birthday party here so it's been fun - and a holiday! Oh, do go swimming, Gleds - it'll do you the world of good. Simi says so!
I luuuuuurve swimming. I love it. Do you know when I was about six or seven my Mum forced me into swimming lessons that I hated so much I cried ALL the way through. Yet I still love swimming. Which must say something about how much I love it I adore it.
It has been a good day but busy. I fly to Boston tomorrow morning. Wish that I could just stay here. Tired.
I go to aquarobics on Wednesdays - much less boring than just swimming up and down and good exercise.
Thursday MWM and I went out for the day celebrating St Paddy's Day at a local bar where they had an Irish band playing - great fun.
I go swimming every monday morning ! + acqua gym. It's not only good for the body but also relaxes !
SYD: I heard the city of Boston is full of heroin addicts from NYC just like the S Coast of the UK is full of heroin addicts from London who went to rehab there...! I know you're not on drugs so you'll be OK have a good time
AKELAMALU: Anna does water aerobics too. I would never swim up and down doing lengths that would bore the life out of me
GATTINA: it's the "also relaxes" I'm in it for most... y'know
