I think the first position that an exercise addict needs to take is to stand outside, develop a third eye, observe what they're doing. Take pauses, don't necessarily stop for a long time, but take pauses away from the involvement and take the feeling states that you have. You probably won't feel as good as you might after exercising or something like that. Don't run away from those feelings, try to take and bring them closer to you. These are feelings that do lie underneath the exercise, there are things you ultimately need other ways of coping with. As you slowly taper down the amount you exercise, take those pauses, take those abstinence phases if you want to call it that, and learn from them, and take the feelings that come and the thoughts that come outside of the exercise domain and into a therapist's office or a self-help group or some other place to learn to focus those feelings and thoughts.
