Non Alcoholic Drinks

Hey all,

Just wanted to pose a quick question and get others' opinions about non-alcoholic drinks to help with cravings....I have been "mostly sober" since October (had a few relapses, but am beginning to understand more about myself and what it takes to stay away.....) I am back on day 6 now, and today I decided to stop into a convenience store for a snack and a water....I found myself standing in front of the beer coolers and having the debate with myself....Then I saw a 6 pack of Odouls....I went that route......

Realizing that the best choice for me would have been to get the water (or to avoid the store all together)....I was wondering what opinions are about having a non-alcholic beer or two to help with cravings early on......While I also realize that it was definitely a better decision than drinking 12 or 18 beers like I normally would, I wonder if psychologically it is hurting my recovery on some level......
