Like any other change, what gets them sober today is going to be different, and maybe tomorrow it's the same, and maybe it's the same for a couple of weeks, maybe it's the same for a couple of months. I don't know if you have felt like that, but I want to tell you there is no key.
What truly keeps someone sober? It's a question many therapists and individuals in recovery grapple with.
