“Strength of mind rests in sobriety; for this keeps your reason unclouded by passion.”—Pythagoras
The other day, my friend, Joe, shared that it had been twenty years since he has been drunk. He celebrated sobriety as the best decision he has ever made. I am proud of him. I have never battled with addiction, but, like everyone, I have my own battles with self-control. Soberness is a wonderful thing.
Abstinence, self-control, temperance,…. We must seek clear-headedness. We must control our needs and desires. As well-centered individuals, we must make the decision to care for our health and mind.
What are the things that try to control us? Let us choose to take control—to be sober.
Be your best today; be better tomorrow.
