Question What's up with the Coffee?

Went to A.A.!! I am 1 month sober! Everyone drinks coffee! Is it good for you in recovery? I am feeling week and tired!!!! Maybe I should make a pot..lol. I am new here, and want to use this forum in between meetings! I asked a lady to sponsor me and she was 23 years sober, and said she was told by her sponsor she was not allowed to sponsor!! I drank vodka and beer for 40 years, and I am taking Milk Thistle for liver issues!! Very brain-dead! Maybe not making sense???

Although I’ve made hundreds + pots of coffee I don’t feel it’s a good thing especially for newcomers. But I don’t rule! I think holding a drink is comforting for alcoholics and coffee is rather inexpensive to give out.

BE WELL

Even from the codie side of the fence it gives your hands and mouth something to do. The ritual of preparing it can be theraputic, as can giving the responsibility of making it & cleaning up to someone who's just barely able to hold their head up.. something simple that everyone appreciates and you can see a good job done.

I could never get my head around the coffee at meetings especially when they have newcomers who are worst for wear!!! Coffee is nearly the last thing their body & brain needs...of course they don't have to have it. Serve green or white tea & I might be tempted!!

Male/female relationships of any sort are discouraged in AA for a reason

That being said well done on reaching a month sober that's massive !!

Welcome to the family from a fellow Buckeye.

Congrats on one month sober. The first of many sober months.

1) Coffee: your over analyzing it...it's coffee

2) Why on Gods green earth would you ask someone with 23 yrs sober and still in need of a sponsor to be your sponsor. Obviously she can't make descisions about her own life, what makes you think she can handle yours?

Be Well,
Larry
