Nah I do distance running these days actually and I always tell people not to run to lose weight. If you're already an established long-distance runner it can be a huge part of weight control, but if you aren't already doing dozens of miles a week, you are physically not capable of running enough to keep yourself in a deficit. You're straight-up just gonna hurt yourself trying to run enough, even if you have the willpower for it. Plus running makes you REALLY hungry, so you're going to need exceptional control around food anyway. And it's really easy for people who don't have control over their intake to use "that huge run" as an excuse to eat fourteen eleven-pound black forest hams in one sitting.
I adore running and it's super good for you, but it's not for weight loss. You literally have to eat less that's all there is to it.

How'd you quit alcohol? I wrote down a quick pros and cons about quitting last Saturday, then woke up the other day, severely hungover with a fricked up knee and the memory of getting blown by a dude... So I really think I need to quit. And if it helps with weight loss that would be cool too

Was the Ativan for withdrawals or something? I don't drink every day and don't seem to have any kind of withdrawals, just when I do drink, I don't have a cut off point... I quit for a few months and was going to AA which seemed to help but feels pretty lame
I should try and pick up weed more, but I tend to get anxiety from it. I have a really hard time attending to "leisure" activities so if I could chill out and just play a video game or something, it would probably be helpful... How much is your exercise routine a fill in for the substances you were using previously?

Yeah, I’ll trade one addiction for another that’s significantly less likely to ruin my life and kill me

You quit alcohol by deciding that's what you want for you, everything else is details. You can make it dude, believe in yourself.

How do I save my knees btw? Am currently one such long distance runner you described and I'm trying to keep form but I'm somewhat nervous of destroying my joints.

I'm a big fan of zero drop shoes. That and form form form. The heels in standard running shoes put your knees and hips at an unnatural angle and there was a study a while back that showed that it increased the force through the knee a significant amount. The heel-toe drop also makes it harder to run with good form.
Formwise you want short, fast strides at any pace with your feet landing directly underneath your hips (usually means a forefoot or midfoot strike). If you overstride you put horizontal forces through your knee that it wasn't designed for. Knees are really good at handling vertical forces, but horizontal forces are dangerous. So you want your steps as short as you can get them.

Yeah, the serious runners I know eat way more food than anyone else I know and don't gain any weight from it. It burns a lot of fricking calories.
