Alcohol sugar cravings (managing them) and the whole Gut-Brain health connection thing.
Read more: Alcohol sugar cravings (managing them) and the whole Gut-Brain health connection thing.It was just over 4 years ago now that I took my first day off work because of a hangover.

“It was a random day of internet searching that brought me to Boozemusings Blog and to Boom Community, and my life has been changed by it. I needed some kind of “epiphany” for a mind change, and I have learned things about alcohol and its physical effects that have given me that kind of enlightenment. I check in several times a day and it is like meeting with my family. The resources here are incredible, and inexhaustible. I have quit lit books, etc. Will check out some of the other resources in others’ responses, but for me, Boom has been the answer. I feel it has to do with the tireless work of Boom’s creators. Thank you, Boom!!!!!!!”
