I can look at this on many levels... some simple, black and white and easy to discuss... like don't hang out in bars, make or keep friends that are not a risk to my sobriety and lose the ones who are, go to meetings... simple, maybe not easy sometimes...
But there is a spiritual/emotional/consciousness sobriety that is, I think, what my friend August is getting at... nuanced yet pervasive... yea, that's good
...
Spiritual principles, becoming less self centered, putting others needs before my own... trying to see the other person's perspective... smiling when I don't feel like it... ongoing inventory taking... looking for God in everyone... Taking the backseat myself....
