Hi, SeaofSerenity. Thanks for your post. I drank non-a beer early in sobriety when I didn't want to discuss my new sobriety with anyone or seem to stand out. It was not a trigger, nor did it taste very good. As time went on, I became much more comfortable with drinking soft beverages at events and places where alcohol was served. Now I prefer local soft ciders when in season, sparkling flavored water, oj, and lemonade. I find them much more flavorful. Peace.
