The Cup of Life

We have a saying in AA where I live: “Looking for a relationship in AA is like shopping for a new car in a wrecker’s yard!” Not only recovering alcoholics but all sorts of emotionally immature people can make impulsive blunders in the relationship area. But the price they pay for relationship folly usually does not include insanity and death! Hence AA’s caution not to start relationships in the first year of recovery that is urged upon newcomers.
