Im 25 days into my millionth attempt at sobriety (2nd serious attempt, the first serious attempt leading me through 2 years of fairly straightforward sobriety)…Ive found I enjoy drinking out of a fancy lowball glass I used to use for alcohol (Peaky Blinders inspired). Anyway, is this a very stupid idea? Drinking half a glass of super strong REAL gingerale out of this glass seems to make me feel good/comfortable…but Ill stop if Im being an idiot. Thanks!

Does drinking out of that glass make you wish there was alcohol in it, or is it just a glass that you have an attachment too?
If I got rid of every glass or cup I drank alcohol out of, we wouldn’t have any glasses. The vessel matters not. What’s in it makes all the difference.
But I am me, and you are you. Your mileage may vary.

Then drink your fancy ginger ale out of your fancy glass, and drive on! While you are at it, keep getting better at getting better each and every day.

If I’m at home and making dinner, many times I have put San Pellegrino in a wine glass. Doesn’t make me want to drink, I just like it 'cause it feels fancy.
Why settle for a boring cup? I drank booze out of fancy glasses as well as warped, beat-up plastic cups alike.

This is my happy Viking mug. I’ve drank everything from Coffee to beer and wine, to club soda & POM out of it.
It can’t trigger me, because I don’t want to drink alcohol ever again, and I won’t. Alcohol is voodoo: it only has power if you believe it does.
I don’t.

I celebrated with some cream soda the other day after passing my test because the store didn’t have the candy I wanted. Rare indulgance for me to drink soda! I enjoyed it inthe biggest glass I had so I could fit it all with ice. Dont care that it looked like beer, I never liked that anyway so it didn’t bother me at all! I didn’t honestly even think about it until someone asked what I was drinking lol

I heard a guy in smart say he uses the same drinking glass but with soft drinks because it was like a placebo effect for him, the drink didn’t matter as long as it was satisfying (in the no alcohol sense)

I have a bunch of pint glasses from various breweys and bars, wine glasses and a few shot glasses that I use in that order depending on what’s clean.
When I quit drinking I had to always have a non alcoholic drink on ice. Especially when I drove. This was because when I drank, I always had a cocktail on ice. Like always! Especially when I drove. Lol.
For me it was hard enough to quit drinking Always having something on ice close by helped that.
Youre good pal😉

While I agree with the sentiments and opinions expressed ( and if course I can’t argue against someone’s experience!), I am left to wonder why did @Rach28 ask in the first place? When I question my motives in simular situations, I usually come back to the fact that I’m trying to get some vicarious thrill or contact high from an alcohol thing.
I drink milk out of my frozen beer glasses. It’s all good
