Hi everyone and thanks for your input.
I've since had a few glasses of the wine and thoroughly enjoyed it thinking it to be alcohol free. Felt great, no hangups and really just found it to be refreshing - I always did like the taste anyway - I just hated what it did to me - but this stuff didn't - it has no more than 0.05% alcohol in it. I liked it, I know I have a drink problem and I know I don't want to go down that route again. I don't know what I do from here - I don't feel like running out to buy another bottle of non-al or alcohol wine for that matter. I'm still feeling happy at being sober and all the good things that go along with it BUT I now feel guilty cos I've taken some non-al wine that did me no harm at all. I know that it could lead some people, perhaps myself too - I don't know - who do try it to feel compelled to go for the really real stuff again. Everyone is different and everyone has their own level of willpower I suppose - I just need to take time out now to think about mine. I'll keep going to the AA meets for now to see if I find an answer there.
Anyway, I am still sober and definately know that I don't every want to feel as low as I did last week so I just need to think things through now. Probably won't sleep now though for thinking about this.
Anyway thanks for your words and opinions
Luv

Hi Demise...
I certainly tried everyway I could to hold on to drinking.
I failed and was soon back on rthe misery-go-round.
I do hope yoou will find a way that works for you.
