Sobriety is one of those words you don't hear used a lot these days. But the concept is timeless - it's all about keeping your mind under your own control, and not relinquishing that control to alcohol, drugs or anything else. If your mind is controlled by anything other than the Holy Spirit, there may be some disastrous consequences.
