For me it’s less about the effort to stay sober and more about the effort to stay in school but I think if your only goal is to stay sober it is easier to loose that sobriety since it’s the only thing motivating you. Like why would I care if I’m sober? Just cuz? Nah it’s cuz I will literally fail. It’s easier to be like Icked by high me when I think about it like that.
