Sobriety vs abstinence
Abstinence¶
- avoiding the harmful behaviour
- constraint
Possible problem with abstinence¶
- frustration and resistance induced by abstinence
- => addiction elsewhere
- stop drinking -> overworking
- YouTube -> manga -> webtoons -> podcasts
- self counterwill: [[ADHD Symptoms#Counterwill]]
Sobriety¶
- free of internal compulsion
- living according to principles I believe in
- conscious awareness
- what we're aiming for in [[Addiction Treatment]]
