Well... I enjoy a NA beer from time to time. I think NA wine sucks, and I haven't tried the mixed drinks sans alcohol.

I think it is dancing with the devil early on, or if your sobriety is on shaky ground. And, I certainly respect those who would never ever even consider it.... However, I do think it is AWFULLY judgmental to question someone's sobriety if they drink one, especially a sponsor with 20 years without a drink.

I think the thing that strikes me in your post, is that there does some to be a little romanticizing the drink going on... "Washing the car, yard work, grilling were always better with alcohol." And the whole mocktail thing while socializing.

IDK, it's your call, not mine. You asked for thoughts... And I have always kind of thought, about the question of NA... if you have to ask... then NO!
