Alcoholic drinking non-alcoholic beer?

It’s my first time attempting to be free of alcohol, and I’m currently at 3 months. I’m feeling pretty secure with my sobriety thus far :slightly_smiling_face: I wanted to ask the community about their experience drinking beer that does not contain alcohol. I tried it the other day, and I didn’t feel triggered to drink, rather I simply enjoyed the taste. Is it common for sober people get triggered drinking this? Does it build over time?

I’m aware everyone handles all this differently, I simply just want to hear people’s experience :+1:

There’s lots of threads on here if you go up and search :mag:.
Here’s one suggested by one of our dandy moderators.

Me personally I thought it would make me crave the real thing. My son likes them and it does not affect his sobriety whatsoever.
I’ve tried a couple and they aren’t bad but I still don’t do them. Too gassy :joy:
I hope you find what your looking for.
Big congratulations on your 3 months.

Oh by the way. I tried some dealcoholised wine. It wasn’t bad. But it just didn’t sit right in my mind. So I don’t bother with that either.

Every stint of sobriety i had with drinking NA beer ended in relapse. I’m 983 days sober right now and haven’t had any NA beer this time around.

Non alcoholic beer is for non alcoholics

I drink NAs and I’m closing in on 3 years sober. They’ve helped me throughout my sobriety. Everyone has different feelings about them, but i can say i enjoy them.
