Define "User.id specific". Do you mean that you need to save a user_id
foreign key with your data? Are you saving the user to a session when
logged in?

This makes no sense. If you want find a *specific* ('first') User,
then you need to put 'User.id' on the left side and pass a $user_id on
the right. Also, though it's not too big a deal, I guess your var
should be $user, not $users.
Anyway, if you save the User to the session when they log in, you
won't need to do a find() here. Maybe you should explain what it is
you're trying to do.
