I have a very close friend who’s a researcher studying public health at a major NGO, and he told me that this was THE week to practice as much social distancing as possible, even if you don’t have to go to work.
I asked him to explain why. Sharing his answers w/ permission (1/x)
This is the story of my relationship with alcohol. And it’s not a typical “sober” story. It’s less dramatic. Still, it’s a story that I have lived out and distanced myself from one year now. It’s a story from which many ‘ah-ha’ moments have now proceeded. https://t.co/SmxSchtnlu
