sobriety
意味 酒に酔っていないこと, しらふ; 禁酒
A few days into sobriety, I turned up to a meeting in a church hall, “shaking like a s—-ing dog”, according to Sean, sat in a plastic chair and actually listened to what people had to say. I didn’t come away with a belief that some divine entity had an interest in whether I had a cocktail or not; what I did grab on to was the understanding that I can’t just have just one drink.

発音は「 /soʊbráɪəti/ 」
barge
意味 （儀式用の） 屋形船; 遊覧船.
Sean offered to be my sponsor – that is, someone who’d been there and bought the T-shirt with alcohol abuse, and who could give me advice on how to get through life without a drink. I started visiting him once a week in his barge, just to chat about life and how to live it. He helped me immensely, though he always insisted I was the one helping him.

これはそのまんまの意味なのかな…。
run over A
意味 〈車· 運転手が〉A〈人· 動物〉をひく
Going to the doctor is actually enjoyable these days. I sit to get my blood test results, and instead of looking at me like she’s about to tell me she’s just run over my cat, the doctor says my results are fine. Then I look surprised and she says: “Yes, take the poison away and everything fixes itself, funny that!” I drive away thinking how lucky I am that I didn’t do too much permanent damage.

breathalyser
意味 [C] (英商標)[時に B-]酒気検知器 ((米)drunkometer).
Ah yes, driving. It’s nice to drive, all the time. No need for my own breathalyser any more. I drive back from restaurants late at night, where the bill doesn’t have £50 of wine on it. My sobriety app tells me I’ve saved £7,000, just on boozing at home, in the past year.

免許持ってないけど、大学で上京できてなかったら強制免許取得→飲酒運転してたろうなぁ。
