| Anyone worked in a bar while going to AA?
I know sam from Cheers's worked a bar sober, but I was wondering if anyone else has. I recently started working p/t at a cold beer/liquor store until I am done school, just to get me out of the rut I am in. I discussed it with my sponsor and he thought it was a good idea, so I took the job.
It will be interesting seeing all the suffering people come in to buy colt 45's and cheap sherry in light of my years in AA. It's in a bad part of town, and in the days that I was still drinking and drugging I worked at one down the street from this place. Even in my state then it was sad seeing guys come in with their faces covered in gold spraypaint, the 16 year old hookers, and the myriad other sad souls who you'd see in "the hood." Anybody else worked in a bar or liquor store while sober in AA? Did your program shed a different light on things, or did it just feel like any other job?
