I’m 21 days sober of alcohol. I drank on 00 percent alchohol Heineken yesterday is that a relapse?

0.0 is really zero procent (other than so called alcoholfree beer which has a small amount of alcohol). So no, no relapse. A lot of people think it’s a bad idea to drink these types of beverages though, as it reminds them too much of the real stuff. Sort of a gateway to a relapse so to speak. Congrats on your 21 days of sobriety Tre, good work and keep going!

Not a relapse but N/A beers can be very triggering for some and may lead to relapse as it makes many people want the real thing. So I would say use caution if you want to continue consuming N/A products like that.

Way to go on your 3 weeks of being kind & sane to yourself! I tried one of those 0.0% Greenies but only after I’d went to a few hundred meetings and worked some steps. I might have 2-3 per yr at this point. I’ll have to echo the previous recs. Not a relapse but could be a bit early in your journey, friend.

Congratulations on your 21 days! How exciting!
Congratulations on the 3 weeks. Nice work.
I tried the N/A beers when I first quit drinking. It was more out of curiosity than anything else. Since then, I have found things I like much better. It took a little experimentation, but I’ve found some things I really like. Personally, I like good old strong Irish tea on ice mixed with fresh lemonade to taste. It’s cheaper than the N/A beers and better for you.
I don’t feel that drinking zero percent is relapsing, but try some new things. You’ll find one you like. I never went back to the N/A stuff. I find it boring.
