Sober

Sober refers to a state in which a person is not under the influence of alcohol or other mind-altering substances. It means their mental and physical faculties are clear and functioning normally, without impairment from intoxication. Being sober can also imply a mindset of sobriety, often associated with abstaining from alcohol or drugs due to personal, health, or spiritual reasons. Achieving sobriety typically involves recovery efforts for those with substance dependency, emphasizing staying free from substances to maintain well-being and stability.
