Substituting with non-alcoholic wine/beer
I think is one of those choices that if it works for you and fits into your comfort zone than there is probably no harm in it. I know for me I couldn't have a fake-beer without it leading to 11 real-beer after.
I think everyone is different in this regard and so while NA beer may be OK for some, for others it could be a trigger.
Personally i have had the odd one since quitting back in October, but like another poster said, i make sure to have the 0% stuff not the low alcohol ( some "non alcoholic" beers actaully have .5% alcohol). I didn't realize at one point that some actually had booze! I also would quit having them if i stared to drink them alcoholically- meaning buy a six pack and drink one after another. To me that's mimicing drinking. Big red flag.
But i think despite it not triggering me i want to mostly avoid it. The only reason i think its ok for me was that i never drank beer to get drunk and truly always liked the taste of it. I woukd stay away from the wine versions as that was my DOC. .
