Many people living in one day at a time recovery learn to relax while sipping either water or decaf coffee. Sipping seems to be a natural thing we do and the bonus is we can still do it when we attend meetings in the rooms of recovery. We can also do it in coffee shops and while sitting at kitchen tables. We become quite comfortable with this. What we are soon to discover is that it is the sharing in the rooms of recovery and the conversations in the coffee shops or at the kitchen table that help us navigate life and adversity. We might not understand how but abstinence (which is what we are at these times) helps us to grow. We no longer have to be alone. Let’s be well. Peace.
