Remember the four years of noise from the right about Joe Biden being the doddering, senile old man who wasn't really "in charge" of his presidency?So now that we're all aware of the Signal app "klatch" (read the dialogue here) ruminating over clearly classified information (except, "nuh-uh!") the question that came up for me, mostly recently is "where was the President?"Images of Presidents and their inner circle in the "situation room" or a secure room flanked by monitors and communication paraphernalia come to mind, right?He was playing golf. (cue the 'sad trombone' effect) So, who's in charge? Elon runs amok with DOGE; attorney general Pam Bondi seems to have taken up permanent residence at Fox News to fling vapid threats, and JD Vance and Pete Hegseth and the intel fellas get on Signal to play real life "Call of Duty?" While POTUS plays golf. Oh, and because Hegseth lies like you and I breathe, it's worth noting that his characterization of Biden having "cratered" in the face of the threat from Houthis is an out-and-out LIE.------Meanwhile, under the gold dome in Georgia's capitol city of Atlanta, "religious freedom" zealots are continuing their decade-long quest to codify protections for bigotry and bias under the thin veil of religion. With me to discuss his and his organization's efforts to (again) stifle it and combat another round of anti-trans legislation, Georgia Equality executive director Jeff Graham. Also, how is it that LGBTQ+ sports organizations have been working for nearly half a century to find a place for any and everyone who wants to play sports - even heterosexuals - yet the notion befuddles anti-trans activists on the right in 2025?

With just five days before the inauguration of a second Donald Trump term, the trans community in Georgia (and throughout the U.S.) has had to weather a storm of antir-trans sentiment; some of it put to use by the Trump campaign. We check in with Jeff Graham, executive director for Georgia Equality, to get a sense what their activism can accomplish with a decidely-conservative state legislature and GOP governor likely angling to solidify his conservative bonafides ahead of a potential Senate or Presidential run. Speaking of weathering and storms, the founding director of End Climate Silence,  Dr. Genevieve Guenther (author of "The Language of Climate Politics") joined me to add her immense credibility to correct a wave of disinformation as the Eaton/Palisades wildfires ravage southern California.

I've strayed from routinely watching "Real Time with Bill Maher," for a couple reasons: one, I just can't keep paying for all these streaming services (the show now re-airs on CNN, though) and he's too tone-deaf on trans issues for my taste. That said, on the economy, he was spitting facts on his last "new rule" prior to Election Day. The gist? The economy doesn't need saving; it's been saved. MAGA's have an alternate reality fog they won't see through and (I agree here) Democrats have been timid to tout this. Closer to home, more than 3000 Cobb County absentee voters' ballots are imperiled by the Georgia Supreme Court's latest ruling. Will their votes count? Depends on when they're handed to Cobb Elections officials - who admit the mistake is on them & not the voters. C'mon, already . On to discuss that and her organization's more than 75 endorsed candidates up and down the ballot is Georgia WIN List executive director Melita Easters. Also on to respond to the litany of anti-trans messaging from the Trump campaign and to tout his organization's efforts to support pro-LGBTQIA+ candidates is Georgia Equality executive director Jeff Graham.

Embark on an enlightening exploration of nutrition and supplementation with the help of my esteemed colleagues, Dr. Jeff Graham and Dr. Michael Donovan. Together, we peel back the layers of our daily diets, uncovering the hidden power of micronutrients and macronutrients alike. Dr. Donovan's four Fs—fuel, function, fun, and fasting—serve as our compass, guiding us through the complexities of meal timing, the joy of eating, and the discipline of fasting. Fuel your mind with knowledge on creating a nutrient-dense diet that curbs hunger and prevents overeating, while enjoying the delight of delicious, balanced meals.Our conversation goes beyond the plate as we tackle the controversy of calories versus hormones and their dance within our bodies. Through the lens of a chicken breast versus a doughnut, we confront the starkly different hormonal impacts of foods with identical calorie counts. We then shift gears to the crucial role that protein plays, not only in muscle building and fat loss but also as a stalwart ally in regulating our hormonal equilibrium. Venturing further, we critique the rise of processed foods, contrasting past dietary habits with today's trends, and considering how the complexities of flavor can inadvertently lead to overindulgence.As we reach the finish line, our focus turns to athletes and fitness enthusiasts, discussing the intricacies of nutrition and exercise. We dissect the importance of metabolic flexibility, timing nutrient intake, and the psychological nuances of eating that affect fitness goals. Do not miss Dr. Donovan and Dr. Graham's final words, as they graciously offer their contact details for those hungry for further wisdom.

Jeff Graham founded the Bac2Zero sobriety group.  Like many of us in the recovery space Jeff's initial sobriety goal was simply to quit drinking.  As he recovered his health, energy and creativity he decided he wanted to help others to do the same.   He describes sobriety as freedom – freedom from a world that was once filled with dread, regret and fear.  Although his goal started out simply as one of abstinence, his life has since grown into a life filled with dreams, hope and happiness. In this Episode Jeff enjoyed his first beer at the age of 16, it wasn't so much the buzz he enjoyed as the status – he felt like he “fitted in”. Much as he enjoyed the social side of drinking he also discovered that he loved to drink alone – he would come home from a night out and have some drinks on his own – he felt like he needed some “Jeff time” as he put it Many of us are like this – and even in sobriety some of us can still get triggered when we get home from a social event – even when we were drinking AF drinks! I would work hard to behave myself at a social event and then down a bottle of wine when I got home! Jeff was into beer and from the age of 23 and was drinking a case of beer a day – of course his friends were all drinkers  His parents were both alcoholics and that's why he was drawn to beer rather than spirits – he thought it was “better” – but of course it's all ethanol! He started hiding his beers in the garage – so his wife and kids had no idea how much he was drinking or quite how bad it had got Someone asked him recently if sobriety was “hard” – it made him reflect on just how “hard” it was to be a functioning alcoholic – how hard it was to hold everything together. He got to the point when he knew he would have to cut down but he couldn't face it – so he just started hiding his drinks more effectively! We talked about the buzz and how us drinkers love to maintain the buzz – in fact recent research has shown that the buzz only lasts for 20 minutes and then we carry on drinking to top it up After some beers Jeff would not go back to “normal” – he would feel lower than normal and reach for the beer to compensate He was starting to drink earlier in the day but always telling himself that “tomorrow” would be different. Eventually he ran out of lies – admitted defeat and booked himself into rehab for a week He needed this stay in rehab to draw a line under his drinking and to make a statement to his friends and family that he wanted to make a change We find that many of the people who come to our workshops are able to make use of the tools and community to draw that line under their drinking habits and to make a change  Jeff needed the accountability that came with rehab – he just couldn't do this alone He didn't actually learn much in rehab but he did a lot of self-reflection and of course met other people with the same problems When he was sharing his story he heard himself saying things that he hadn't really registered before – that happens at our workshops – people get emotional when they share because they only realise just how unhappy alcohol has been making them when they tell their story out loud. Three months out of rehab he had a relapse – he wanted a reward, a last “hurrah” as he put it That did indicate that he still had work to do on his mindset – if we still see alcohol as a reward then it means it will always be hard to resist and we will suffer from FOMO Once we see alcohol for the addictive toxin it really is we will lose our desire for it which is the key to sustaining our sobriety After his relapse Jeff took his recovery more seriously – he started to listen more and began journaling to process his thoughts and emotions. He feels that it's really important to get the negative thoughts on paper so then we can analyse them – it's all part of being honest with ourselves. Of course when he stopped drinking he had to find other things to do – he learned that he couldn't just wait until he had a craving and then find something else to do – he had to plan it in advance Jeff learned that he needed a schedule of activities and I think that's great advice Try lots of different things and keep yourself busy until you find a routine that really works for you As he says it's no good telling him to call someone if he gets a craving – it's too late by then! Like myself he loves talking to people in recovery and getting new insights We talked about discovering purpose and the way we have both found more purpose in our lives from running sobriety groups – he set up Bac2Zero to inspire others on the journey Interviewing people for Bac2Zero keeps his schedule busy! He has some great analogies – sobriety is like a haunted house – scary to enter alone but can even be fun if you are with someone else! And the traffic lights! - sobriety is not a red traffic light!  It's a green light to freedom, health and happiness – yes there may be a while stopped at the amber light going through an adjustment period but the green light will appear!   Love that one! Three years into sobriety Jeff is experiencing lots of benefits – increase in his self-worth, reduction of anxiety and closer connection to his family are just some… We talked about how many of us thought we were ok because we were not the homeless guy on the park bench but Jeff advises that instead of comparing ourselves with the homeless guy we should compare ourselves with the person that we could be… Even if alcohol doesn't destroy us it will certainly prevent us from reaching our potential! We agreed that community is the essential thing that all sobriety groups have in common because connection is the opposite of addiction.

A Marietta man was killed in a shooting at an extended stay on South Cobb Drive and another arrested in the early morning incident Wednesday, according to the Cobb County Police Department. Ricky Haney died after being shot in the abdomen while in room 210 of the Cumberland Lodge Hotel.. Wilson said Clarence Mitchell of Marietta, told detectives at the scene an altercation occurred on Tuesday between him and Haney, leading to a separate altercation at 4:40 a.m. Wednesday. Wilson added that the second altercation allegedly led Mitchell to fire a single gunshot at Haney, who died of his injuries after being transported to the hospital. Mitchell was arrested by police and charged with felony murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, Wilson said. Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the Cobb County Police Tip Hotline. State Senator Ed Setzler, a Republican from Acworth, filed legislation this week he said would expand state religious protections to mirror those imposed by a 1993 federal law. The Religious Freedom Restoration Act, SB 180, borrows from existing federal legislation on religious liberty, and renews the debate over constitutional rights nearly seven years after a previous bill was vetoed by former Governor Nathan Deal. Deal's decision to shoot down the legislation in 2016 came as LGBTQ rights activists said it would effectively legalize discrimination, as the bill would have allowed religious organizations to refuse service if doing so would violate their beliefs, among other measures. Georgia's business community — including the Cobb Chamber of Commerce — commended the veto by Deal. Setzler's new bill enters the General Assembly with significant Republican support out of the gate, as 24 other GOP state senators have already co-signed the measure. Cobb's two other Republican state senators — Kay Kirkpatrick and John Albers — were not listed as co-sponsors. Both told the MDJ they had not reviewed the bill before it was filed. Senator Setzler stated that the law isn't designed to favor one side or another in a question over religious expression, but to serve as a yardstick by which disputes can be evaluated in court. Jeff Graham, executive director of Georgia Equality, said that while freedom of religion is a cornerstone of the country, it is imperative that in the protection of religion that the state not create license to discriminate. McEachern pulled away with a big second quarter, and held off a late Hillgrove comeback, to win 50-43 in the semifinals of the girls Region 3AAAAAAA basketball tournament at Harrison on Wednesday. The Indians outscored the Hawks 13-3 in the second quarter to take control, though Hillgrove eventually closed the gap in the second half and got within one late in the fourth quarter. The win earned McEachern a spot in the today's championship game against North Paulding. Hillgrove will face Harrison in the third-place game. Kalise Hill scored 21 points and Jada Bates added 15 points to lead the way for McEachern. Yolanda Floyd scored 16 points for Hillgrove. McEachern got its quest for a region championship off to a strong start with a 84-56 victory over Marietta in the semifinals of the Region 3 seven a basketball tournament at Harrison on Wednesday. The Indians will play Hillgrove in the championship game, while Marietta takes on Harrison in the third-place contest today. McEachern was boosted by a strong first quarter in which it outscored Marietta 21-12 and it continued to gradually build its lead the rest of the way. Rutgers commitment Ace Bailey led the way for McEachern with 31 points, while Moses Hipps contributed 14 points for the Indians. Jack Bourgeois scored 15 points on five 3-pointers, while Jaiden Mann added 13 points for Marietta. A Douglasville man has been arrested and charged with arson, accused by authorities of starting a fire in Mableton on Tuesday. Sebastian Perez was charged with first degree arson, a felony, according to Cobb County Fire and Emergency Services. As the Arnolds sought to retrieve some belongings from the home, Strong attacked Maurice Arnold with a hunting knife. As DeAndre Arnold attempted to stop Strong from continually stabbing Maurice Arnold, he was injured by Strong, the DA's office added. Police arrived at the scene and arrested Strong after talking to witnesses, according to the DA's office. Maurice Arnold later died from his injuries. Firefighters responded to a commercial fire in the 1300 block of Old Powder Springs Road shortly before 10 a.m. Tuesday. Perez is being held at the Cobb County jail. He is ineligible for bond. Two people were shot and injured at an apartment complex in south Cobb early Thursday, the Cobb County Police Department said. Officers responded to a reported shooting around 1:24 a.m. at the Premier Apartments, located off Riverside Parkway in the Six Flags area, police said. There, they found Phil Ray, 23, of Austell, and Jamari Payne, 19, of Woodstock, with gunshot wounds. One person had a gunshot wound to their left foot, while the other had gunshot wounds to their arm and torso, police said. Ray and Payne were both taken to a local hospital for treatment, where they remain in stable condition, according to police. Police continue to investigate the shooting.

  My podcast guest this week is the author of a very touching memoir called:- I'm Sober…So Now What?: A Journey of Hope and Healing by Melissa Witherspoon That's an excellent question and there's definitely quite a difficult stage that we reach when we are in early sobriety… For many of us it's a bit of a void – a kind of flatness when we suffer from anhedonia – we haven't found our Sober Feet yet and we are certainly not thriving and enjoying our sobriety Our old routines are messed up, our drinking buddies are keeping their distance and we are not entirely sure what to do with ourselves.. That's why we aim to take people on a 7 stage journey here at Tribe Sober – because there is so much more to recovery than “not drinking” We help people to ditch the booze and then introduce them to yoga, coaching, meditation, art therapy so they can explore and start to build their alcohol free lives – a life they won't want to escape from. Melissa Witherspoon calls her memoir a journey of hope and healing and it really is.. Anyone who has been struggling for years will take hope from this book – Melissa spent decades struggling with alcohol – in and out of rehab – getting sober and then relapsing – but it finally stuck.. In this Episode Melissa came from a happy home but struggled at school. Suffering from Attention Deficit and Dyslexia when neither condition was really acknowledged meant that either her teachers or her classmates were giving her a hard time She never really found a friendship group at school – not until she got to High School when she finally found “her people” Trouble was her new friends were mostly boys and a bit older than her – and they were using drugs and alcohol – but she was happy - she finally felt that she was “fitting in”.. She was so influenced by this group that she left home and turned her back on everything she knew Melissa found herself living with a bunch drug dealers in what she describes as a “den of inequity” She felt so free and grown up – she could come and go as she pleased and had access to the drugs and alcohol she wanted – she loved it! However things got quite “dark” and Melissa was rescued during a police raid! In one way this was a relief but her mum was in denial about what had been happening and Melissa was just expected to slot back in to “normal” life…without any help She was full of shame and guilt and finally managed to get some counselling at the age of 21 but she wasn't open with her counsellors so ended up carrying her shame and guilt into her 20's and 30's She coped with the pain by drinking and using drugs – and for two decades she was in and out of rehabs, making poor decisions and then dealing with the consequences For some periods she managed to keep up an external façade that she was coping but inside she felt she was falling "down the rabbit hole"  Melissa went to one rehab to help her come off alcohol and Xanax – when she left they gave her a bag of pills– pills she subsequently used in a suicide attempt Her life was only saved when her husband came home unexpectedly Back in rehab she remembers how irritated she was with the “one day at a time” mantra – she couldn't even get the schedule for the following day as she was told to just focus on today.. With perspective she now appreciates how it can work and even today she finds herself saying “one day at a time Melissa” if she feels anxious or stressed – a good habit for all us I think Another mantra she's learned to love is “progress not perfection” We use that a lot here at Tribe Sober – we're currently running our annual 66 day challenge and many people are daunted by the thought of 66 sober days – but we give them a tracker and tell them to mark their Sober Stretches – how many stretches can they do? Are they getting longer?  How many alcohol free days did they manage out of 66 – that's progress not perfection While we are at it lets look at some more Sober Cliches that actually help – how about “this too shall pass” – whether we are reflecting on a tough day resisting the triggers or being hit by one of those “lows” that we feel even when we are sober - "this too shall pass" can help to soothe us Another one is “one is too many and a thousand isn't enough” – that's one to remember if you've been sober for a few months and think “ok I'm fine now – I can have just one” – well spoiler alert – you probably can't! Finally how about “there is no problem that alcohol won't make worse” -  if we've been using alcohol as a coping mechanism for years it can be SO difficult not to start drinking again if we get some bad news… but of course the problem will still be there – along with a crashing hangover when we sober up.. These sayings might be clichéd, but they have been really helpful to many of us here at Tribe Sober. I hope that they'll be just as helpful for you. If anyone has any favorite sobriety sayings, please send them to janet@tribesober.com and I'll read them out on the podcast Melissa was always worried about becoming a “Dry Drunk” – that happens when you get sober but you don't "do the work", you don't change your life There is so much more to recovery than “not drinking” and that's the journey we take you on at Tribe Sober – apart from introducing you to various therapies and offering you coaching we welcome you to our community where many people are already sober and will inspire you with the creativity and connections they have discovered so they can thrive in their sobriety – not just get through it like a Dry Drunk does.. To join our community just go to tribesober.com and hit “join our tribe” Melissa's husband is in logistics and loves spreadsheets – so he created a spreadsheet of activities and timings to make sure that Melissa kept very busy in early sobriety – and it worked! This is a definite technique that works for many people – we have to keep our mind occupied so we don't end up thinking about drinking! Have a listen to Tribe Sober episode 105 with Jeff Graham who explains exactly how this technique worked for him Apart from loving sobriety cliches I'm very keen on analogies and Melissa talked about the “family in recovery” being like a boat People get used to their roles and if one of them changes the whole boat needs rebalancing – for example Melissa's husband got upset when she was no longer relying on the schedule he had set up for her – she was getting better and no longer needed rescuing This is linked to co-dependency  – and the whole family may need counselling if these patterns have been fixed for years From her experiences Melissa has observed that there are 3 stages of relapse Stage 1 is emotional relapse – not even thinking about drinking yet but observing the triggers that seem to be getting more frequent Stay in Stage 1 long enough without taking action and you may move to Stage 2 which is the mental relapse when you start to feel uncomfortable in your skin – and skip activities like connecting with your sober tribe and sticking to your exercise routine – all things that relieve triggers Stay in Stage 2 long enough and you may move to Stage 3 which is physical relapse when you are back in active addiction The advantage of knowing about these 3 stages are that you can keep your radar sharp for Relapse Warning Signs – all different for different people but you need to be able to pick up if you are feeling a bit “off” as Melissa puts it – keeping a journal is a great way of monitoring your emotions For Melissa it shows up in a lack of self care – if she starts neglecting things like her hair washing routine she will see it as a warning sign and tune in to what's going on..
