Coffee Commitment woo hoo! - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Innerchild · 08-07-2012, 04:54 AM

I walked right into a new meeting on Sunday and walked up to the Chair and asked for a commitment so I was given the Coffee Commitment. I would have never have just walked up to anyone in the rooms and just asked a few months ago a great breakthrough.

make sure you clean that coffee pot once in a while with some vinegar.......(not cleaner, that leaves an after taste).....

Congrats!!

And after you clean it be sure to rinse it well.

Great deal I.C. !!

Awesome!!!!

Thanks for the tips ha ha. Reminds me of a funny story my friend has a coffee committment and I would go early with her and help her set up. On Sunday I went to pour a cup of coffee before the red light came on so she yelled at me for messing it up so everyone who entered the meeting that night who heard about it told her it was the best coffee they ever had lol. She is so funny and loves her control but she is really good to joke around with.

Most important position in any AA mtg I've ever been.

Good for you. I actually attended a meeting where no one picked up the coffee commitment. That only lasted two weeks lol.

Innerchild · 08-07-2012, 11:13 AM

Kudos for your patience; I would have had a really hard time not reacting back.

and another cup of Kudos for your progress! It always motivates me when I'm able to see my progress, by comparing the situation to what I would've done before.

Innerchild · 08-07-2012, 12:24 PM

She is my friend and I tease her about her controlling issues. LOL

sugarbear1 · 08-07-2012, 03:22 PM

We've had late coffee and we've run out of coffee, so we had super late coffee (someone ALWAYS ran to a store to pick some up, but I don't think we've had NO coffee unless the pot broke! And I still think someone ran home to bring their personal coffee pot in!

You're a VIP, just don't let it go to your head! lol

During my service as Coffee Carol ....I found a box in the basement full of De Caf

Being frugal and a non coffee drinker....I begin mixing
it with the regular stuff until it was finished

Not one member commented on the difference..

IC....thanks for asking for a service job...

Thats awesome, I haven't signed up for any commitments yet, I'm working up to it. lol. I do always show up early to help with chairs however.

Innerchild · 08-09-2012, 11:03 AM

I showed up to a new meeting today got put right to work as there was no coffee maker I was asked to make it. I was like sure never made it before but I am sure I can figure it out praying it came out okay bc I know members love their coffee dont want a bad rep as a terrible coffee maker LOL. It came out well and people went back for seconds and was told I was just suckered into another coffee commitment lol. Its nice to go eqrly help out you get to know people more.
