Why "True Sobriety"?

Truthfully I named my blog site and url only after finding out that the other names I wanted to use were already taken. Wanting to choose something that would encapsulate in a word or 2 my ideals, philosophy and burden without being too cliché. My first choices were: One Thing, One Thing I Ask, The Living Flame, Sober Living, Ceaseless Prayer and Transformation.

I chose the word "sobriety", which literally means the state of being sober. A term that, as with many, has lost it's true meaning over the days. Today it is mainly associated with abstinence from drugs and alcohol. Although I do believe the abuse of drugs and alcohol is contrary to sobriety and I will touch on this subject, I don't feel that merely abstaining from a substance is its full definition. This blog will be an attempt to rediscover what "True Sobriety" is.

The goal for this site is that it would be an encouragement for others as well as myself, into having a more accurate view of who we are in the eyes of God, which I believe is the cornerstone of sobriety, and what it means to be sober.

I now believe that this was the best pick of site names for my blog.
