Was mental the lightning bouncing about last night! But the days will cool soon. I'm from Scotland to it was about 20c today, hot but bearable. Stick with it son and you're doing cracking and you're not far off 100 days. X

Hey Rainy,
I'm 11 weeks sober and had a wobble last night over NA beer.
I've drunk two NA drinks during this time - one NA Heineken beer (330ml) at week 4, and a mocktail on week 9.
Both times I've felt anxious, and they've left me wanting more.
It's different for everyone, but just thought I'd share my experience!
Congrats on 59 days, by the way

Each to their own, rainy, but I went from 4 to 6 cans of real beer a day to none, and alcohol free beer helped me do so. I’ve mentioned a couple of family-related crises I had on day 55 (minor) and eight months (major) and on both occasions my cravings were stopped with a couple of cans of AF beer. I’m coming up to 20 months sober and still have an AF beer a few times a week.
If you’re unsure, then maybe it’s best to avoid AF beer, but a lot of people drink it without problems. It could be a lot worse.

Our heads - that's where the AV lives. Eviction is a start, but then that thing just lingers outside waiting for an opportunity to take up residence again. You might want to build a fence in the form of an adamant resolution to keep it from interfering in your life and tempting you with bologna. Anything resembling alcohol sparks a fire under the AV's a$$.

I'm pleased it works for you and I even understand you wanting to share that, but it's not something I'd recommend, especially to someone like RE who's said she already knows where it will lead..
