Going to a world of sobriety, where everyone is sober and clean. To THE-PLACE-OF-STABILITY-AND-CONTROL.
I am traveling to a place where all family members and friends keep away from drowning alcohol binges and stay away from recreational illegal drugs, where no one smokes a tobacco cigarette, where everyone is in deep control of all his actions and does not act in abusive ways.
To a place where people toast with clear purified water, and drink only a sip of red kosher wine on the Shabbat Kabalat and Kiddush Toast and at the Havdalah to bid good bye to the Shabbat Holiday for another week, to drink alcohol as ritual to cause holiness, not to imbibe in excess.
To know that people are changed under the influence of alcohol and become more aggressive and this affects their human relationships causing an inability to practice righteousness and truth, mercy, and goodness.
Excessive alcohol consumption and rec drug use impairs the brain and changes behavior so you cannot control what you say or what you do.
Going to a place where people view their bodies as holy and would therefore not obstruct their bodies and mind with behavior altering substances, to treat oneself as if one loves oneself as much as G-d loves you.
To obey G-d, to love oneself as much as He loves you, and to care for oneself as He would like for you to do, to be holy and to treat oneself as holy, as one reflects the image of G-d.
To take pride in your love of G-d and to try to be holy and then holier, and to love all people with the love you also give to G-d, to treat one's neighbors with loving-kindness,
To love oneself and therefore to increase the amount of love from others that is all around you.
