The "Sober Method" is an acronym that stands for Stop, Observe, Breath, Expand, and Respond. This technique involves pausing whatever you are doing or about to do, and allowing yourself to be present in the moment. You then observe any sensations in your body and take deep breaths to calm yourself. Finally, you expand your awareness to include your surroundings and choose how to respond to the situation at hand. 

Friends who support your sobriety are known as sober friends, and they frequently identify as such. Friendships between sober people are based on delightful sober activities rather than on the use of drugs or alcohol.

A sober community group refers to a gathering of people who provide mutual encouragement to uphold abstinence and lead a lifestyle free from addiction. Such support groups may comprise Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, SMART Recovery, and others.

Indulge in a lovely movie, binge-watch a couple of shows, savor a delicious dinner, luxuriate in a long bath, have a picnic, plant some flowers, curl up with a good book, journal your thoughts, practice meditation, or simply allow yourself to rest and sleep. Appreciate the little moments and find joy in the simple pleasures. These activities can be therapeutic and help in your recovery process by allowing you to relax and enjoy the present moment.

Emotional sobriety refers to the ability to be present with all of your emotions without allowing any one of them to define or control you. It involves engaging in various activities, such as working with a therapist to process your emotional experiences as they arise. This allows you to develop a healthy relationship with your emotions and be comfortable with them without being overwhelmed or controlled by them.
