Are you average? Do you think you're average? Do you even like being called "an average person?" We all have different conditions surrounding when and why we drink. There is no “average” way to maintain sobriety. You are unique and you want to discover what will be the best method for you.

Getting drunk hasn't changed much in the past 4,000+ years, but technology sure has. Technology can influence us to drink if we react to it. Listen about how this happens and what you want to keep in mind before you hit "send" or "post."

Self-justification can work for you or against you. We can easily talk ourselves into drinking "just this once." Self-justifying is a normal, natural part of our thinking process. There are ways to learn to catch it before you harm yourself and then make self-justification help you stay sober.

How do you see yourself living as a sober person? How will you behave? Who will you hang out with? What will you be doing? If you can “see yourself” in your own mind you will be in a better position to stay sober and then make the best out of sobriety. If you don't know what you want you are susceptible to accept or follow anything. Why not “see” what you want and then work towards it?

How many times have you said, “I'm an alcoholic,” yet still didn't do anything about it or relapsed? You don't need to make open admissions that you're an alcoholic to change your behavior and your life. You need to actually do something and make some changes. More important than your public statements are your private behaviors.
