Sobriety

Living without alcohol or other drugs, often after a time when using them caused problems. For many people it is an ongoing journey, taken one day at a time, rather than a finish line.

In the room

Support groups, counsellors and trusted friends can all help. Setbacks can happen and do not erase the progress someone has already made.

Something a client might say

“Two years without a drink, and I finally remember every weekend.”

An illustrative line, not a real client.
