As a psychotherapist (and the grandson and son of an alcoholic) one way I try to educate those who are drinking too much is to educate them on what's going on in the brain. Alcohol is dually reinforcing because it can both activate the brain’s reward processing system that mediates pleasure and reduce the activity of the brain’s systems that mediate negative emotional states such as stress, anxiety, and emotional pain. Sometimes, if a person can come to understand that the effects of ETOH on the brain affects the brain as a disease, that will lead them into getting help.

Later, the Krystal Company bought Po Folks, but with the rise of Cracker Barrel, Po Folks went under. My mother was the Executive Assistant to the Krystal CEO and bought $5000 of Po Folks stock and lost everything when the company failed. Because Mom worked for the CEO she sent me bunches of free meal cards and I was living in Siler City, NC at the time. I'd drive to the Greensboro Po Folks and chow down for free! Those were the days!

I can cook a perfect steak and pork chops in an air fryer. The trick is to cook by constantly checking the temperature and not cooking by recipe time.
