“The bomb is in the first one” is a common statement in recovery communities.

If you are an addict, or even a problem user, once you have one, you are unable to stop.

Staying away from the first drug

Have you told yourself: “Never again!”?

And then do you think: “Yes, but that’s what happened because of the last drug – not the first one. That first one never hurt me”?

This is the common pattern of thinking that alcohol-addicted demonstrate.

It is best to avoid the first one, one day at a time, so you can avoid relapsing.
