Recovering alcoholics are no different from any of your other guests, they just are not drinking.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 5 minutes
Here's How:
- Make sure you have plenty of non-alcoholic beverages on hand, including coffee.
- Don't serve dishes cooked with alcohol, and if you do, be sure to tell the recovering alcoholic.
- Don't make a big deal out of the fact that one of your guests is not drinking.
- Let your guest know (privately) that there are non-alcoholic beverages available, but don't announce it to the entire room.
Tips:
- Your alcoholic guest may be a member of an anonymous support group. If so, it is important that you do nothing to 'break' his anonymity by revealing that fact to other guests.
