The 'Day 1, 2, 3 No Lean' meme is a multi-panel format that parodies the progression of someone attempting to quit consuming 'lean' (a mixture of codeine cough syrup and soda). While it starts as a standard recovery diary, the meme quickly veers into the surreal, often showing the person transforming into a cosmic entity, a skeletal warrior, or a hyper-realistic monster by Day 3. It gained significant traction on platforms like Twitter and Reddit within 'schizoposting' circles, where creators use the absurdity of the transformation to mock intense physical dependence or to lean into high-effort visual editing. It is a favorite for those wanting to depict a dramatic, often supernatural, personal evolution.
