Parvati Magazine February 2014 - Sobriety1 | Page 4

Welcome

Editors

Welcome to the February 2014 edition of Parvati
Magazine.
Sobriety is a word we hear usually in relation to those
suffering from substance abuse. Wikipedia describes
sobriety as “the condition of not having any measurable levels of, or effects from, mood-altering drugs”.
We think of addiction usually in terms of substances
such as alcohol and drugs. But any habit we have
that interferes with our quality of living may in fact be
an addiction. If we do not know how to moderate,
we may be a shop-aholic, work-aholic, rage-aholic,
gossip-aholic, fitness-aholic. We may even be a spiritaholic. We can be so focused on whatever the thing
may be, that we lose our sense of wholeness in it.
In this issue, you will find valuable tools that will help
you explore ways in which you can gain greater balanced living so that you can meet this New Year with
sobriety.
Enjoy!
