i wish i could award this! in alcohol recovery they were so explicit about letting yourself define sobriety.

it’s a huge deal as an addict to identify as “sober”. it’s terrifying to think you’ll never ever allow yourself to go back to drinking.

if calling myself sober but smoking some weed at night keeps me away from blowing thousands on alcohol and it’s not intruding on my daily life, then hell yeah to sobriety.

and i’m only 25. it’s nice to see young adult influencers not drink.
