For me staying sober is about what I say to my beast, and I can do it in many languages:
No
Nein
Nyet
Non

The language I speak to myself is about making me happy, productive, and fulfilled. I regard that as important, just not essential to my sobriety. All I have to do to be sober is decide not to drink. Pursuing happiness while sober takes some effort. Keeping those functions distinct and separate in my mind works for me.
