Colloquially, it can refer to a specific substance that is the concern of a particular recovery support program (for example, Clean and Sober) is a commonly used phrase, which refers to a person who has a prolonged period without alcohol or other drugs in his body. Some people would even say that their partner can sometimes be in a better mood when they drink. Being clean can be the equivalent of being a dry drunk or groping your sobriety. The study was a systematic review, meaning that the authors searched the databases with a clear and predetermined strategy and the articles needed to meet certain criteria to be included in the review.
In this case, the articles were to be studies of drug treatment outcomes for adults (over 18 years of age), which also measured alcohol consumption before and after treatment, as well as in a subsequent follow-up measurement. To counter the addicted character, an addict must face a person who has developed a sober character. A person capable of modeling what this character is. That is capable of showing it in daily life.
Able to show the addict how one can live life sober. To model for the addict new ways of facing the challenges of life from a sober perspective. This may mean that you don't spend time with someone you used to do drugs with or go somewhere where you used to drink. You could take a new way home from work, for example, to avoid going past your favorite old hangout.
Under the guise of recovery and “help”, a clean, but not sober person can afford drama, chaos, guilt and sanctimonism.

Each true spiritual path offers a path, a method and a program to return to the true life; to relive life “in the terms of life”, to live sober. In the process of this new character formation, the presence of a sober sponsor, mentor or therapist is essential; the presence of a person who personifies sobriety. If you're trying to maintain a sober lifestyle, those feelings can become toxic and contribute to relapse if you don't manage them properly.
Sober, drug-free, substance-free, and abstinence come to mind as words that could be appropriate replacements, none of which have stigmatizing connotations. After all, you can't hang around with your drug dealer or old drinking friends and expect to stay sober for too long. Because, without the fundamental influence of a sober character, power, money and status become tools of the ego. When I was sober, I told a friend (who lived on the other side of the country and who had admitted that I hadn't seen the worst of what I was drinking) that I no longer drank alcohol.
Also known as sober houses, sober living houses (SLH), sober living houses or sober living environments.
