Today is day 1 I’m feeling both scared and hopeless because I’ve had so many day 1’s before. But this time I know where I went wrong I didn’t connect with fellow addicts in recovery. So this time I’m going to try some new things and prey they work.

I agree we got this hope your day 2 goes better than day 1!
I’ve had many day ones too. I normally cave in at day 3,
but I just crashed my car a week ago due to drinking… and I could have lost my life. So I got a little wake up call now.
But it shouldn’t take a wake up call to stop drinking.
You should stop drinking before something bad happens to you or someone else.
I’m happy you didn’t die! And I agree it shouldn’t take a wake up call to get sober but sometimes a wake up call is necessary to get us to stop using.

Yup I’m really sad I don’t have a car anymore but it was the catalyst to take sobriety seriously
Ya my catalyst was my friend found me in the car with a needle in my arm.
You’ve got this, Alec. You’re not alone.
First off you have to have the desire to want to stop drinking.. you’ve gotta want it.. you can do it.. take one day at a time..
Same here Allec, day one for me too. My issue is currently alcohol. I’ve had lots of day ones too.
I appreciate that I hate going through this alone.

I had day 1’s every day for three years I’d wake up swear off drinking forever and be drinking by that night. I found that my complete surrender that followed my complete demoralizing bottom got me in the program. I had to change everything in my life, all new friends, my social life was recovery based and for two years was very carful of any environment I was putting myself into. In short it took some huge life changes. That took a lot of self honesty and looking deeper into what I was feeling and capable of doing to keep myself sober , out of my Ill head and focused on never picking up again
Day two tomorrow brother.
Yes sir

Once you start believing you can get further than your last days of sobriety you’ll learn each time you make it a lil longer. Don’t stop and just be grateful you didn’t give up. I’d rather you have a day one than get stuck and give up on sobriety all together
Alec and Cindra don’t give up. It’s hard but worth it.
Agreed I will never give up on sobriety.
