The goal of sobriety is to be able to re-enter all phases of society as a valued, respected member. This means that being around alcohol will be non-challenging, and that liquor will lose its hold on our thoughts and mind.
Alcohol will neither repel nor attract us to it. We will be put in a position of neutrality. I often say that the thought of drinking booze today has as much appeal as drinking bleach or liquid cleaner - none.
Of course we will have to get through the tough early days of withdrawal, and transform our mind set about alcohol. It will no longer be the answer to everything it our lives, it will be the answer to nothing.
