Sobriety does not begin and end with abstinence from drugs and alcohol, although doing so is very important. It's much more than that. Becoming sober allows you to get in touch with who you really are, to make amends to those you have hurt in the past, to learn new ways to interact with people, and how to deal with everyday life. It's a complete transformation of the mind, body, and soul. Sobriety isn't for everyone. It takes commitment, honesty, faith, and working through a lot of pain. It requires facing yourself head on. It requires dedication and time, and not everyone is ready to give what is needed. If you no longer enjoy the way drugs and alcohol are making you feel, sobriety is for you. Sobriety is not boring. It can be the first step to the rest of your life. A life beyond your wildest dreams!
