Sobriety is a loaded word. When does your thinking fully clear from the damage of heavy drinking? Medically it takes a year and a half to two years for the brain of heavy drinker to repair itself. Most sober alcoholics notice their emotions are more stable and thinking is clearer around this time. The changes happen gradually. But after three months of not drinking they are noticeably better than they were after a week of sobriety. At a year of sobriety most have lost the craving for alcohol and the rates of drinking again drop enormously, though relapses happen. At 2 years of sobriety it is rare for an alcoholic to return to drinking.
The drinking of green kava appears to be unique to the Republic of Vanuatu. My dad had to come all the way to Tonga to see us. He had to stop by Fiji and drink some Kava. Kava is considered unique and important in Tonga and in Fiji and some other islands. That's what I heard.
Only the passage of time.
Many years ago, "sobriety" used to refer to being very serious; but in modern times, it has come to refer to an alcoholic's effort to abstain from drinking. An alcoholic who is in the midst of his or her disease is frequently drunk. The opposite of being drunk is being sober. Thus: John is glad he is not drinking, and he is very proud of his sobriety.
