Description

Sobriety is the state of being sober, that is, not in an altered state of consciousness, or not under the influence of psychoactive drugs. Sobriety is often tested with a breathalyzer. In neuro-linguistic programming, sobriety is the state of not acting out in an addiction. It also means to just be free!
