<<  A very close friend of mine who is an ex-addict, eats at my home regularly
and I regularly use alcohol in my cooking.  They have not leapt off the wagon
because of it.  Indeed, I know of many "ex-addicts" that consume "nonalcoholic
wines and beers without ill effect despite the fact that those products are
made from regular wine and
beer that have merely had the alcohol removed >>


Greetings!
      I term myself a recovering alcoholic, 14+ years sober.  I choose to eat
foods that have wine/alcohol etc. as ingredients and do enjoy the non-
alcoholic beverages.  However, not every recovering person can handle that.
Each individual must choose how best to handle his/her program.  My 12 step
program friends thought I was looking to get loaded when I started playing SCA
because there was alcohol at most all events.  Then I married a man who drank.
No doubt about it, I was headed off the wagon!  But that was 10 years ago. I
guess I'm lucky, the taste of alcohol in foods has never triggered the craving
to drink again for me.
      I view my addiction as an illness and it is MY responsibility to control
my condition by avoiding things that could/might cause me problems.  I have
never expected the cook at an event to do something special on my behalf.
