N/A wine really helping me right now!

Whatever it takes. Some people frown on fake drinking, but I sometimes like to order mocktails when at a bar, or have a 0 alcohol Heineken. Do what works for you, as long as you stay honest with yourself.

I agree! That is where I’m at right now. Thank you :heart: I’m very proud of myself and not beating myself up about time lost in the past. Everyday I am learning and making an honest effort to stay away from the poison! Whatever it takes right now is what I’m doing :slight_smile:

As an alcoholic, I can’t do that anymore. I tried the NA beer thing on my road to sobriety and it helped a little, like I still had my friend even though we weren’t as close…. But by keeping it on my mind, I was never able to be rid of the obsession to drink and sure enough I drank again…. I’m only sharing my experience if it can in any way prevent some of the pain and suffering I went through…. I truly hope you find what works for you :grinning::pray:

That you for sharing that! I am kind of thinking ppl are 50/50 about it in recovery..wish we could do a poll on the n/a drinks bc it seems to be a very hot topic! Drinking n/a drinks and eventually relapsing bc of it is def a fear of mine but being so fresh on my journey I am doing whatever it takes to not pick up (actual alcohol). Tonight I kind of think it saved me so I’m grateful but in no way am I thinking it’s my cure. Still planning to go to treatment asap & continue on the lifelong journey! Everyday, more and more, I am seeing that sobriety= health&happiness, and that is what I want & know I deserve more than ever!

Their stuff is pretty good I must say! The Merlot gives me hope to still be able to have a nice “glass of wine” with a meal. I didn’t know about the sparking fre-rosé! That also makes me happy for the summer!

I completely agree. I’ve been working hard to make sure I don’t make it an every day thing, but without it, I think I more than likely would have relapsed. Eventually, I plan on cutting back, but I’m trying to be kind to myself.:yellow_heart:
