Day 11
Doing really well, few craving for beer thinking maybe an alcohol free beer. Alcohol free beer has led me to return to drinking in the past bug with my new mindset maybe I can use it as s tool to keep me sober when thinks get tough.
I am not sure what it's like in America but the treatment available in the UK for alcoholics is dreadful. Only those on the verge of dying get detoxes in hospital and then get let out straight away. Doctors generally won't see an alcoholic when drunk. This is ridiculous as when is an alcoholic sober?
The medical profession really don't know how to deal with addiction.

Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different result is the definition of insanity HC. ALcohol free beer has caused you to relapse a few times in the past, it seems like it’s time to accept that this is not and hasn’t been a safe and sensible option for you to take. xx

Your addiction will try and convince you that NA beer will fill that 'hole'...but it won't, any more than real beer did...
My advice is keep building a new life, a sober life you love...
let the hole heal naturally.
