Theres nothing wrong with being “California sober” — Demi Lovatos haters be darned – Salon

Demi Lovato is no longer hiding her truth. Last month the singer and actress, who has struggled with addiction for years, revealed that she considers herself "California sober" — meaning not fully abstinent from substances. That goes against decades of conventional wisdom in the world of addiction recovery, which posits that recovery means total and permanent abstinence. How often do you see headlines about this-or-that celebrity celebrating a sobriety anniversary? Just as we celebrate them, we should also be celebrating Ms. Lovato's recovery, even if it sounds unconventional. Sadly, there has been an onslaught of ignorant criticism of Lovato's recovery program, which just goes to show how far we have to go when it comes to understanding recovery from addiction. The kerfuffle started wit...

Subway Is Bringing Back These Menu Items After Angry Complaints – msnNOW

When fast-food chain Subway decided to remove the rotisserie chicken sandwich and the roast beef sandwich from its menu last year, customers and even operators were baffled by the decision. According to some employees, the rotisserie chicken sandwich was, in fact, one of the chain's top-selling items, so the decision to discontinue it while keeping some less popular items on the menu seemed odd. The sandwiches were removed from menus in June, and while an official reason was never given for the move, the fact that rotisserie chicken and roast beef were two of the most expensive proteins on Subway's menu may have had something to do with it, according to Business Insider.

Americans with 2 COVID vaccine doses can travel, CDC says – Los Angeles Times

After a year defined by upheaval and interruption, this week brought tantalizing samples of what was once considered normal. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday updated its travel guidance to allow people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to travel within the United States and abroad as long as they continue to take precautions such as wearing a mask. Those traveling domestically would no longer be required to self-quarantine upon arrival, or obtain a negative test before or after their departure. Mere hours later, California retooled its reopening blueprint to outline the eventual resumption of indoor events and performances. And Los Angeles and Orange counties, two of California’s largest, were cleared just days ago to further ease some of the pandemic-re...
