I think it is out of respect for the fact that there are so many people recovering from alcoholism and addiction in our culture, and they want to be mindful of that... my church has started offering both wine and grape juice, whereas before we only had the latter, and though I am a recovered alcoholic and drug addict, I do dip my bread in the wine, and do not fear a relapse as a result, for by the grace of God I am free of those afflictions, and in fact, it was when I cried out to Him for help, not even knowing if He was real, that I first got clean and sober in 1994, at the age of thirty nine, after being snared for twenty four years
