We talked a lot about our addict brains and how many of us tend to fall back on other addictions in early recovery. My AV goes towards gambling and smoking, coffee, candy, and lots of food. I too am giving myself a pass on my other vices while I'm strengthening my early sobriety.
I have tried quitting all vices at once in the past and it usually ends up with no success in all areas for me. So I'm taking it one thing at a time this go round. I think if you have the strength and will to cut out coffee that's awesome! But I also think you shouldn't feel badly about it if you're not ready to cut it out.
I just absolutely looove coffee and I wasn't able to drink it at my worst drinking. I usually only drink 2-3 cups a day but some days a lot more. To me it's a much healthier crutch than my other ones and hands down preferable over drinking. 😊 so it gets a welcome pass from me.
