It’s hard to know what to think about the recommendations for alcohol consumption when the narrative around it changes like the wind. Numerous studies have come out in support of moderate alcohol consumption because of its potential health benefits only to be countered by similar studies arguing that it’s actually more harmful than beneficial, according […] […]
The study, published online in JAMA Internal Medicine by Dylan A. Lowe, PhD, also of UCSF, involved 116 participants who were randomized to a 12-week regimen of either three structured meals per day or time-restricted eating, with instructions to eat only between 12:00 pm and 8:00 pm and to completely abstain from eating at other times.

“How did you make this?” The last time I wrote about zucchini was back in 2019 when the same question was asked (probably by the same friend) which motivated me to write down how I make Zucchini, Corn & Red Pepper.

This was a really interesting article. It covered several important issues. From the need for liver transplants at a younger age, to alcohol being considered an essential commodity and delivered to your doorstep, to AA support groups.
As a member of AA since 1977, I can definitely relate. Online zoom meetings are not the same. My home group has an online meeting weekday mornings. I have yet to go to it. Instead I meet in person with 2 to 4 regulars outside in a park sitting on beach chairs 6 to 10 feet apart. I can handle the occasional day with bad weather. If we had more than a couple of days that prevented us from eating outside, then I will go to the zoom meetings. But for all the reasons mentioned in this article, I need the in person support.
AA is a unique concept. In that one paragraph where he describes the 8 to 10 things necessary for working the program, he really was spot on. When people are actively working the program, the steps, and connecting, relapse is so much less common. And I’m sure this pandemic is going to throw many people over the edge.
Before this is over many people will be tossed over the edge. Glad you liked the article link. Stay safe. Stay strong. Stay sober!
