Recovering alcoholics and rum balls?!
I'm asking because I was thinking about this, I'm giving rum balls as gifts to my extended family, but not my aunt because she was in AA I'm giving her homemade cookies instead...
just wondering what people who were in AA think about rum balls
Answers: do people who were in AA avoid rum balls at christmas?

Don't think they would like getting a mouthful of rum when they're trying to stay sober. Theres non-alcoholic rum balls though that shouldn't be a bother.
I'm not exactly sure what a rum ball is, but if you cook it, all the alcohol cooks out of it, you are just left with the flavor. If I were your aunt I'd be offended, I'd feel like you were excluding me from the rest of the family by not giving me the same gift as everyone else. Just a suggestion, you should talk to her about it before you accidentally offend her, or make weird feelings toward her. Usually alcoholics are kinda touchy about things like that.
we avoid all alcohol anytime, period, that's the whole idea of staying sober. no rumballs, unless you want to jeopardize her recovery. the rumballs are not baked, so the alcohol remains active. the homemade cookies should hit the spot though.
