How to Be Sober-Minded

A clear and sober mind is a valuable asset in this crazy world. The ability to calmly deal with the everyday struggle of life will win you respect from your peers and single you out as a person that can get things done, even under pressure. Being sober-minded is a characteristic that anyone can attain with a bit of discipline.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Modify your habits. To be sober-minded requires that you are not addicted to drugs or alcohol, whether they are legal or illegal.

2. Detach yourself from your long-standing beliefs. Question your own beliefs, and look at all issues and problems with an open-mind.

3. Educate yourself continuously. Read newspapers, magazines and even online news sources. It is important to stay abreast of all local, regional, national and world news.

4. Be logical. Do not let dreams or wishes get in the way of your good judgment. Consider the consequences of every action before you take action. You have to examine all the side-effects and long-term effects of everything you do.
   

5. Keep your emotions in check. It's OK to have emotions, just don't let them get the better of your thinking process.

6. Look for enjoyable things to do that do not require drugs or alcohol. Spending time with loved ones, taking a walk or playing games can help.

Tips & Warnings

• Avoid rash decisions.
• Abstain from drugs and alcohol. If you need assistance, contact a local treatment facility, and let your friends and family know. Just as peer pressure can get you to take drugs and alcohol, peer pressure can help you recover from them as well.
• It is OK to be sober-minded, but don't forget to have fun once in awhile.
