Well, sobriety is one helluva accomplishment for this addict. I couldn't stop drinking and doing drugs. Couldn't stop. At the end of the road i couldn't make it to work without doing my drug of choice much less put together any days with clarity or sense. It's more than an accomplishment, it's a dam miracle that i've been clean & sober for over 3 months and for me sobriety absolutely is a way of life. If it's not then this addict will end up back in jails or institutions and experiencing the degradation, hopelessness, self-hatred, and utter putridity of life in active addiction.
