sobriety isn't like lucky socks, something you bring out for special occasions. sobriety is a commitment and complete overhaul in thoughts, words, actions and deeds.
Anvil - so well put. I had to do more than hit the "Thanks" button for that. I have often said that sobriety...recovery...is like love. It is not a word; it is an action. It is who we are all day, every day. Not just when people are watching. Come to think of it, it is far more about what we do when no one but "self" is watching.
