Menu for Alcoholics in Recovery

This is a bizarre first post for a blog that will mostly be about homeschooling, written before I even bother with profile information, or any other of the usual set up of a blog. But it's what's on my brain at the moment and I felt a strong urge to come and write about it, so here we are.

A very dear friend is coming in for a visit this weekend and he's just recently realized his drinking problem, attempted to seek treatment, lost a job over it, and yet is still attempting dry out and recover from this monstrous thing. My heart is full of love and worry for him. He's been hospitalized for near liver/kidney failure and dehydration issues twice in the past 6months.

So, anyway, I'm out here surfing the web looking for foods that might be gentle for his digestion and early recovery process, to help curb the fatigue and anxiety, and nutritionally support sobriety. I'm finding some neat stuff. More on that in later edits, but for now, I just found a cookbook that looks perfect: The Sober Kitchen by Liz Scott Even cooler is that I called Hastings in town and they have a used copy in stock for just $6.99. Sent husbo down for it.

I welcome menu ideas and recipes from any readers out there who have also explored foods and meals for recovery and sobriety. Comment away! :)
