Walking out of the post office, I run into an acquaintance I haven’t seen in months. Standing at the corner next to the Esso station, we catch up in the shorthand common to such relationships.

There’s an energy and a freshness to her that I have never noticed before. “I’ve been on the sobriety train since January,” she says, matter-of-factly. “And I’ve lost 20 pounds.” Two women, who marginally know each other, candidly discussing an issue long kept in the dark, literally in the light of day.
