Hell Yeah society cares if we're sober, because it's a lot less people using drugs, drinking and driving, and risking innocent people's lives. You might not get a medal for it, but imagine a world where nobody wanted to get sober, it would be pretty miserable. I don't think that's the point of this thread, but something to think about.
I really don't care what society thinks, I'm glad I'm sober and that's what counts most, because other people's opinions won't stop us from using and abusing. If it did, none of would be on here.
