For people who want to stop drinking, the world's oldest alcohol support group is still the best way, a new review concludes.
WEDNESDAY, March 11, 2020 ––For people who want to stop drinking, the world's oldest alcohol support group is still the best way, a new review concludes.
But it turns out, Humphreys said, that the program can give many people what they need–fellowship. That includes other group members who are dealing with the same issues, and a"sponsor" who can serve as a role model–someone who has managed to stay sober and get his or her life back on track. "I would caution against concluding that AA is better than behavioral therapy," said Brennan, who was not involved in the review.
An estimated 15 million Americans have alcohol use disorder, according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Of those who get treatment, the agency says, about one-third have no symptoms a year later; many others reduce their drinking.

World Health Organization declares that the coronavirus is a pandemicThe World Health Organization said Wednesday the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 and that has infected more than 121,000 people around the world has become a pandemic. Until now, the WHO has characterized the illness, which broke out in Wuhan, China, late last year, as a series of epidemics. An outbreak is deemed to have become a pandemic when it has spread from human-to-human on several continents. The agency said the number of cases outside China has increased tenfold and the number of countries affected has tripled. "We expect to see the number of cases, the number of deaths and the number of affected countries climb even higher. WHO has been assessing this outbreak around the clock," WHO head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters. "And we're deeply concerned. Most by the alarming levels of spread and severity. And by the alarming levels of inaction."
