Advice please

Im drinking 3 bottles of Shloer a day (completely non alcoholic for those who are not familar with it its a sparkling juice drink) is this ok???? Its keeping me sober at least but im wondering whether im doing right? Im slowly breaking my addiction to alcohol but im wondering if I am actually breaking the habit? I so so do not want to relapse, yes im craving sometimes but ive yet to give in. What do you think???

I think that anything which helps you to not put alcohol into your body is a good thing. Sparkling waters are not poison; alcohol is. I've been drinking water, sparkling water, and lemonade. The lemonade is something I might have put vodka in once upon a time, but I don't drink anymore and I still like lemonade. Others may disagree but, so far, it's all helping me.

Yes it is helping me too. Maybe I shouldnt over anayalise it so much. I enjoy drinking the sparkling drink and its keeping me sober... thats the main thing right?!

For me, keeping sober is the only thing right now. Whatever it takes!

If you aren't putting alcohol or another drug in your body in early sobriety you are doing it right. Focus on staying sober now. Whatever it takes. You can work out any kinks later.

At Day 13 do what keeps you Sober!!

Shloer is one of those things I have at Xmas round my mum's house, she's teetotal, so there's wisdom in there somewhere!!
