 Congratulations on 5 years of sobriety! That's a huge accomplishment. Just curious, what made you decide to switch to coffee instead of alcohol? #HealthyChoices

 It offers a lot of parallels to "alcohol as a hobby" since there's a coffee enthusiast crowd. You can spend a lot of time perfecting your brewing craft,  chasing the perfect cup, and exploring flavors.

Perhaps a crutch over just nutting up and quitting all of them but meh. Coffee don't make me turn into a jackass and it's a bit less likely to kill me early.
