Day 1

Every year, millions of people come into recovery on Day 1.

This may mean we are entering recovery for the first time.

For others, it may be because we are coming off of a relapse.

There is a false stigma that coming in with 1 day is something to be ashamed of. Sadly, millions of people die because of this complete untruth.

The baffling question is, if 100% of us started with 1 day, why are we ashamed? The truth is, not only is sobriety not to be ashamed of, but shows tremendous courage.

Sobriety does not mean all of us get sober the first time and stay sober as, unfortunately, many of us take our will back and relapse over and over again until we finally surrender to the winning team.

We say unfortunately, not because relapse happens, but because many of us never make it back.

If you are on day 1, take solace in the fact that we have all been there. There is not one of us who hasn’t.

Relapse doesn’t have to be a part of our recovery journey, but if it is, our message to you is WELCOME, WE LOVE YOU, and are so glad you are here. STAY.

If you are coming into recovery for the first time, our message is, WELCOME, WE LOVE YOU, and are so glad you are here. STAY.

Whatever amount of time you have, you know what day 1 feels like. If you have some sober time, share with others below what it was like for you and any suggestions you have to help.

If you are new, share what you are feeling. In fact, share like your life depends upon it… because it does.

There are many people in the Loosid community who need to hear what you have to say.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

My story is why I will never ever drink again. I went out with coworkers. Yes I drank but I was also drugged with the date rape drug. The person that put it in my drink never expected me to leave my myself. Well I did and in the process hit a car in the parking lot and had no idea I did it. So I left which I don't remember any of this. I drove to a friend's house but before I reached there I ran over a stop sign, mailbox, almost hit two children. I don't remember any of that. When I got to my friends house my bumper was under my car and my front fender was torn off my car. When getting out of my car I fell face first in the drive way never felt it. I have not gone to court yet. I go on the 21st. But I have not touched a drop of alcohol since September 12th 2024.
