Dallas Bragg defines "practically sober" as mostly abstinent with relapses every three to four months, driven by seasonal and lunar cycles that imprint on your body. He argues that recognizing these hidden patterns is the only way to break free and reach actual sobriety.
Hey, what does it mean to be practically sober? If you have virtually stopped using the substance but are secretly relapsing, let's say every 3 to 4 months, because that seems to be what's common right now, then pay attention to this. Everyone's life is pulled by a great magnet of repeated patterns. Just like the seasons of the earth, the rotation of the planets, the cycles of the moon, so is our individual story. If you are relapsing occasionally, you are allowing the cycle that has imprinted onto your energetic body to use you as a pawn to satisfy the ebb and flow of that cycle. I promise you, there is a formula, a calculated chaos that's unseen, that slowly and subtly pulls you back to repeat, repeat, repeat. By choosing to stay asleep and unaware, you are never going to break the cycle. But I can promise you that you can break free.
