sobriety prayer


I get this prayer book from one of my nurses i have. that maybe you might like them.
if i speak in the tongues of men and even of angels, but have not sobiety, i am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. and if i have prophetic powers and understand all mysteries and all knowledge and if i have all faith so as to move moutains but have not sobriety i am nothing. if i give away all that i have and if i deliver my body to be burned but have not sobriety i gain nothing.  when i am sober i am patient and kind. when i am sober i am not jealous nor boastful nor arrogant or rude. when i am sober i am not irritable or resentful i do not rejoice at wrong as i used to do but rejoice in what is right. when i am sober i can bear all things believe in all things hope all things and endure all things. sobriety never ends and never fails. when i was using i spoke like an arrogant child thought like a stubborn child and resoned like a rebellious child. wheni chose sobriety for my life i gave up my childish ways. so faith hope love and sobriety abide but for me the most important has to be sobriety for without it i cannot have the three nor can i ever have the serenity i yearn to prossess.

Here are some definitions of "sober" I found


subdued in tone

free from excess, extravagance, or exaggeration.

showing self-control: sober restraint.

sane or rational:


sounds like a pretty good thing to me.
Thanks Jayson
