Sobriety should be only the beginning of your journey toward inner peace and good health. Becoming a vegetarian and running or walking vigorously will solve your physical dependence on all medications. But that's a lot of work and alcoholics want the easier softer way. That's why most AA'ers still smoke cigarettes so heavily and guzzle the coffee. Is that really sobriety? Is that really honoring God. Is that really the fulfillment of the promises?
