Recovery Cafe has been a great help in my recovery. I have been clean and sober now for several years and I believe that the cafe has been a part of this success. It provides company with others who want to move forward in spite of hard circumstances. I see people there getting help with jobs and housing and it has been greatly successful in it's endeavors.

Supposed to save money and get barista training and get into choir for those fundraisers . Must be open to deep prayer. Gratitude for meal budgeting, resume planning, falling in love, it will break your heart if you fall in love with staff however. Sweet revenge I’m a mental health expert deliverance is yoga. Tai chi. Meditation. With these services from Bainbridge, benevolent is screaming at me natasha for life resurrection hello father I’m talking to my brain is talking to me my creator. Time expired death occurs know who’s going to love you. Research life purpose... we can get a job after recovery café equals equals great time . Namaste.

Recovery Café of San Jose is a amazing place. Set in the downtown district of San Jose where many homeless and broken folks congregate. RCSJ is a sanctuary for those who make the decision to be sober and join a community. They provide meals, programing, life skills help as well as a soft place to fall when life gets tough. The volunteers are caring, helpful and very selfless. This system is helping many who have been forgotten.
