We all learn a lot from one another here on SR. We're equals here, and all here for the same reason.

That's why you don't commonly see "listen to those of us who've been sober longer" kind of messages.

But in this case, I'm going to deviate from that.

Among those of us who've been sober for a pretty decent chunk of time, you'll see the answer is a uniform "thumbs down." I've been on SR long enough to see the occasional person come back after having started with "NA" -- and good intentions -- and have it go south on them. As many have stated here, deciding from the start to go with new beverages -- sparkling water, fruit juice, etc. -- instead of "fake" alcohol is a choice that eliminates one of the vulnerabilities.
