Anxious about alcohol

Asked Dec 21, 2008, 02:29 PM — 13 Answers
I haven't drank alcohol in 2 months and lately I been having cravings! The holydays are coming and I don't want to drink. My questions is, is it safe to drink non-alcoholic beers? I am also thinking about going out with my friend to the bar and drink but don't want to. Will I relapse?

Why even put your recovery in danger at all as, aren't you sick and tired enough yet?

By the way, your 30 days overdue about getting a sponsor, an absolute must at this stage of your sobriety. Get a good one, and if you haven't made your 60 meetings in 60 days he will ream your a$$, I would. Get on it and stay the freak out of bars period!

The quickest way to relapse, is to follow your friends, rather than do what your supposed to be doing, for yourself!.

I understand about the bars! That is an easy way to drink again since there are others drinking and damning myself for not doing it, but about at my family's? I can do it! A 6 pack of non-alcoholic will just be fine

As mention already why even chance it again. Don't drink it! Urges, to me, is just to test your will power so don't give in to it.

Eventually, your going do what you want but I hope you make the right choice because if you start drinking the non-alcoholic beer now then what is going stop you the next time? Then the next thing you know your right back from where you started.

Non-alcoholic beer contains a small amount of alcohol (0.5% +/-) as indicated in the attached:
