Can recovering alcoholics eat food prepared in wine?

It's a great question, and the answer is a bit nuanced. While food prepared with wine generally poses no threat to a recovering alcoholic, it's important to be mindful of a few things:

* The amount of alcohol in the food: Most cooking wine contains very little alcohol, and much of it evaporates during the cooking process. The amount of alcohol remaining in the dish is usually negligible.

* Individual sensitivity: Some recovering alcoholics may be particularly sensitive to even small amounts of alcohol. If you are concerned, it's best to avoid food prepared with wine, especially in the early stages of recovery.

* Triggering cravings: Even if the food itself doesn't contain much alcohol, the smell and taste of wine can trigger cravings in some individuals. If this is the case, it's best to avoid food prepared with wine altogether.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to eat food prepared with wine is a personal one. It's important to listen to your body and your recovery program's recommendations. If you have any doubts, it's always best to consult with your doctor, therapist, or a trusted support group.
