Sobriety is a condition which takes place, after an individual has been able to break free from addiction. When one decides to break free from either drug or alcohol addiction, it is usually one of the most important decisions which an individual can take. Once the individual has come to terms with the fact that, there is a problem in play, the next step to take might be confusing.

Addiction does not just affect the lay-man, it affects even professionals and executives, and it is usually one of the major reasons why it adversely affects their work, and hence a reduction in productivity.

However, once an individual, particularly a professional, is able to break free from addiction, there are some benefits which comes with it, and they are as follows:

• Link up with other sober professionals: When you are free from addiction, you would also discover that there are others like you, and being around sober people helps you stay that way, hence, preventing the possibility of a relapse.

• Being Punctual to work: A sober individual would find out that, he takes work more seriously than before. One of the adverse effects which addiction has on a professional is, it makes them less serious. However, once the professional is free from addiction, he would find out that he is more dedicated to work than before.

• More tasks/Job offer: The sober professional would find out that, after the addiction recovery, he would have more people who would be more open to working with him, and he would be able to take on more tasks, because his productivity has stepped up.

• More drive to chase your career: In addition, the sober professional would also discover that, he is more motivated to make a name for himself in his career. Hence, what he is focused on, is ensuring that he is the best in his field. The happy part is, he intends to achieve this, without making use of any addictive substance.

• Better relationships: The sober professional would also discover that, he has a better relationship with people around him, and he would be able to communicate well.
