I'm just going by what the general public thinks of when they think of sobriety, I'm not getting too deep about it. When most people, in a program or not, talk about being sober they mean not being under the influence.
But, even if I were to get deep about it I still would probably argue that in terms of my belief system regarding not drinking, sobriety includes my good and bad moments as long as I have not drank. I can be thinking the most effed up things imaginable (having a drink included), but I am still sober.
