Melody Woods: Finding Freedom in Sobriety
But I think for me, going sober has given me the headspace to assess what is going on and to really work on the root cause of the problem, rather than just, I think, sometimes sobriety- especially people around me, which we'll get on to, is just a plaster rather than sort of actually healing the wound.
