Good summary of #addiction, including: “In the past, we used to see addiction as either a moral failing or a flaw in character. Addiction was seen as a choice,” says Krahn. “It’s not a choice. It’s a medical and mental health condition.” #recoveryposse #alcohol

An estimated 21% Canadians, about six million people, will meet the criteria for a substance use disorder at some point in their lives, according to StatsCan. Despite the prevalence of the disease, a swirl of misinformation and social stigma still surrounds it.

NewTrail Brewing - Broken Heels hazy IPA
This has tropical notes of mango and papaya, with a light bitterness from the hops. Overall very lightly flavored, and would make a nice session beer on a spring day.
