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:

This is my 1st time. On weeks 6. Sometimes I have to say I'll relapse tomorrow and force myself through another day. Hopefully tomorrow never comes.

This is my first time quitting Methamphetamines. I was a needle user. I quit cold turkey on my own without being forced in anyway because I was drugged and raped by a male and a female. I've been clean since 02-21-25. I haven't faced relapse yet but I still fear the chance .

Due to 2 decades I hid my addiction until it got to big. My age I feel if I relapse will I make it back. So I put my recovery at the most important thing in my life. I don’t want to die in addiction. My sister passed in active addiction. this destroyed her children childhood and their future.
