Can You Become a New Person?
Twenty years ago, a speaker said, The man I was drank; the man I was will drink again. Abstinence without a change in character leads to use of chemicals again. Some express anxiety that sobriety will result in a new personality. How will they adjust? How will their spouse adjust? Observing successful recoveries can provide reassurance. The transformation of a chemically dependent person into a sober person is miraculous. I had the pleasure of attending the 40th anniversary of sobriety for the speaker mentioned above. He indeed has undergone a miraculous transformation.
