There are definitely people who "get sober from meat" by choosing a vegetarian diet. Almost everyone I know who fits that description is a vegetarian for ethical reasons, and those people, while they eat dairy products and eggs, are strict in that they do not eat the flesh of animals, including fish, but not so strict that they do not wear leather, silk, use honey, and other stuff along those lines that some stricter vegetarians observe.

That said, there are also a lot of vegetarians who are not vegetarians specifically for ethical reasons. I've been vegetarian most of my life because my mom was, starting well before I was born. That's just what food was in my hippie household. We ate a lot of tofu, and I didn't have "a hamburger" until I was in middle school. There have been times in my life when I've eaten some meat, but it's just not something I have an attachment to that would result in "falling off the wagon" or "cheating."

It's not AA, OP.[/quote]
