Why Does Sobering Up Seem So Hard to So Many People?

Discipline. Discipline & F.E.A.R.:  False Evidence Appearing Real.  Illusion & Reality.  As the following suggests, Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.  I don't know if this is 100% true, but IF I have turned my will and my life over to the care of God, how can anything but what's 'real' be in my life?  A peace that surpasses ALL understanding, and 'there is One that has ALL Power...is both the beginning and the end.  Take what you like and leave the rest.  I was just throwing out some random ideas here that might require some of your patience to bear with.  Thanks for tuning in.
