The original Chao cheeze from field roast is my go-to, so good for veg quesodillas and sandwiches! I haven’t liked any of the other brands I’ve tried. Fieldroast makes awesome veg sausages too, they’re high protein without any.

Really happy to come across this thread. I believe we can all learn to extend the compassion we feel for animals to ourselves, effectively becoming better advocates for them. 
I’m probably 80% vegan? I’ve struggled at times when veg options are very limited and gone for vegetarian, usually when traveling, but I keep at it and am making good progress.
The non-food animal products are harder for me at times, like makeup and accessories, but I’m transitioning as I run out of old items. Sometimes I make absent-minded purchases and feel guilty after I realize, but I’m trying and learning to put more thought into it. It gets easier once I have a reliable go-to. I also have items from before that I can’t afford to replace yet, like purses or shoes, that I’ll probably use until they’re unusable. That one is tough, I don’t want to promote leather goods, but I hate waste and don’t have alternatives on hand.

Haha yes I know the restaurants and oil come as a package.
Vegan n activist 7 years…Awoke to veganism right after becoming sober , then relapsed with drinking over two years ago. Now starting back on my sober journey. Have a great vegan community, some drink others dont. Never any pressure except what I put on myself. Happy to connect with sober vegans on here.

I’ve just transitioned over the last five months. Took me 36 years but I made it. I can’t imagine ever going back.

Happy to see all you here @SoberWalker @Bootz @Paperstreet. First time I woke in 2012 n decided I didn’t want or need alcohol or drugs, cigarettes etc. N found self love. Next step which just seemed like a natural progression was to go Vegan. Then found an amazing community of Animal rights Activist. Who became family…slipped off Sobriety 2 years ago. Then up n down. Now back to being fully committed. Happy to meet you all n thankful for a place share.

My daughter and I happened by Sacred Chow near Washington Square Park completely by accident (by Chloe had a stupid long line) and we were blown away. I wish we had as many options up here. We do have some good places but they are very few.
