A New Freedom Is A Lot Like Freedom –
June 26, 2019 – The shift to seeing alcohol problems on a spectrum has numerous good things going for it. It makes it easier for folks who are experiencing a few consequences — hangovers, sleep disruption — to acknowledge them and decide to make a change. And any change that results in having fewer alcohol-related problems is a decision to be celebrated. It moves away from the judgmental position that results in the question, Do you have a problem (or not)? And the new sobriety can include drinking a little, just without intoxication. Which is the original definition of sobriety or being sober: the lack of intoxication. (Google it if you don’t believe me.)
