sober lifestyle

No drinking allowed

A sober lifestyle is one without alcohol or drugs, typically chosen by someone in recovery from addiction.

The phrase emphasizes that sobriety extends beyond abstinence to encompass daily habits, social choices, and identity: She's built a sober lifestyle around morning runs and AA meetings.

Sometimes used more loosely for anyone who simply doesn't drink.
