I’m drinking as I write this. I already hate that I’m doing it. “It’s only one” is what I always say, even though I know better. Tomorrow is day one.

Don’t give up, you got this. Don’t be hard on yourself and allow yourself to forgive yourself for today so you can succeed tomorrow. You got this girly.

Yes tomorrow is a new day. One day at a time.

Is this your first day one? Are you in a program? Myself, I needed and still need AA and that’s after rehab. Don’t short change yourself. It works if you work it. One day at a time

You’ll find a lot of support here💪

No, unfortunately I have had a few day ones. I don’t have an AA close enough for me to get to so I’m going to try some zoom meetings.

Thanks!

Shari it’s widely believed that no one can do this on their own. Zoom meetings are better than nothing but try contacting your local AA see what they suggest. How about a rehab to start?

Keep on truckin, eventually those day 1’s will be in the rear view!

Check out smart recovery as well. They too have an app and online meetings. They have an approach that is very based on science in psychology. If it were not for some of the exercises I did while attending smart, I think my day ones would be close to double digits instead of 3 in almost 2 years time. Maybe far more, as the pain doesn't stop and the drugs and drinks became a way to dull the pain. I have less than I have ever had in life, mayerialistically, yet am happier than I can recall being in well over a decade. I can miss being pain free all day, but I do not miss for a second, destroying my body, my brain, life, relationships, etc.
