la la la *sticks fingers in ears*
I'm ignoring the AV aka the demon who casually suggested a nonalcoholic bottle of wine.... think i'll pass on that one. Too scared it will make me relapse.
.
"non alcoholic drinks are for non alcoholics" right?!
Day 24 n craving so i'm having a tonic water instead.
How is everyone else doing today?!

[QUOTE=Carver;5513470]Well done Blueberry! Yep, I occasionally think about getting some Becks Blue or whatever. Some say it helps, but I think it's too much like the real thing for me 
Stay strong
Prob a wise decision not to Carver!

[QUOTE=D122y;5513477]I still sometimes pretend my water or juice is laced w booze, like it used to be.
Something about it makes me feel like I am having a little party.
Is this is a relapse trigger?[/
I feel like that when I listen to music it gives me that same lil buzz, whether its a relapse trigger I have no idea tbh but by god we are allowed some fun right?! If there is no alcohol involved surely it shouldn't be a problem?

Thanks or asking how I am doing ...
Happy, Joyous and FREE ... it takes WORK for me to maintain the Miracle of my current Spiritual Condition that keeps me 'elevated' above the churning of my Flesh Nature, which would lead me back to living on Self-Will-Run-Riot, which leads direct to Pitiful & Incomprehensible Demoralization.
It's kinda like it takes WORK to keep my body clean, teeth brushed, etc ... or my condition would suffer.

The days of fun were long over. The buzz lasted minutes and the consequences lasted the rest of the time.

The non-alcoholic wine/beer thing? That is some danger-zone stuff, IMO.
I've read stories here of how the beast was awakened by drinking the stuff. The ritual, the glassware, the smell, the look of it.
The addiction will look for any "in" to get you. Cunning baffling powerful. Insidious.

In the past, the third week was the hardest for me and when I caved. Physically I wasn't feeling sick and I foolishly thought, "I can moderate". Slippery slope back down to the quick sand pit of addiction. Glad you posted and kicked that thought to the curb! I've been making seltzer with mint and sometimes freeze a few rasberries or blueberries and throw them in. It feels like a treat
