Character Growth and Sobriety

It is possible scientists may develop medications to eliminate craving for chemicals and prevent intoxication. If research is successful, we may have fewer instances of drunk driving and disorderly conduct. But we may well have many more dry drunks, or people who think they are perfectly healthy. The character defects of addiction can exist in abstinence of chemical use. Thus, the recovery program is necessary to enable us to make a better adjustment to life. Even with abstinence, we should continue the recovery program to ensure our character development and spiritual growth.
