coincidental this post should come up for me today cause i bought a lemonade from a store you can't buy any booze in so I had no idea it had .5 % alcohol. I had two or three swallows and there was something about this lemonade that was weird i couldn't put my finger on it so i started looking at the bottle and saw the .5% alcohol in tiny writing. i felt really angry. i mean i have one month in two days and i felt tricked. i decided that it doesn't count after careful consideration. i threw it out and i never intentionally chose to drink any booze so i do not think i should have to go back to day one. i think these drinks are dangerous for the alcoholic even a hint of booze is not good. i also got a headache within a few minutes that lasted a couple hours.

I was in a bridal party last month and I had a glass of water. When we made the toast I picked up my glass and drank it. I picked up the wrong glass and it had wine in it. I do not consider that a relapse as it was not intentional and I do not count days.

i was not counting days until i went to aa and they gave me a coin for 24 hrs. i don't know why but i really like that coin. i mean a part of me laughs at myself cause it's silly but it made me feel really good. i went home and researched my banking online so i could figure out when it was that i had last drank cause i really want to get the one month coin. it's pretty funny kinda like working for a gold star but hey if it's working...

Just watch the content- some of it has small traces of alcohol (a lot of "non-alcoholic" beer does). If it does and you are alcoholic, then it's going to wet your appetite for more.

I've had sparkling grape juice before (fake champagne) and it never bothered me.......probably because I never really drank it regularly in the past!

my sponsor tells me if I drink it i still don`t have the taste for a drink out of my mouth....I tried once,and eventually went back to drinking...today,no thanks

Would you cut off intercourse just before the orgasm? I don't see the point of drinking non-alcohol booze. I think most addicts (who are honest) will see what I mean.

I tried non-alcoholic beer when I was pregnant.............17 years ago....It tastes pretty good if it's real cold. Today I don't. I think it would be a trigger for me.

Considering I buried two friends (one I sponsored) who drink non-alcohol beer, I suppose if you want to tempt the fates then that is your choice. Always read the labels on anything you get. There was a company named Pop Shop that sold soda by the bottle or case. They made a really delicious birch beer soda. I liked it and cream soda. Found out that the birch beer soda they made contained .5% alcohol. I stopped buying it. The only non-alcohol wine I found was not called than even. It was a grape flavored juice in a wine type bottle. Anything that says NONALCOHOLIC is usually not nonalcoholic. But the choice is yours. As my friend Og Mandano said in his book "The Greatest Story Ever Told," Use Wisely Your Power Of Choice.

Yeah, back in the day I used to purposely buy dirt weed and smoke that just for the ambience of being stoned. I don't know what got into me, I used to sneek in a bag of pineapple express sometimes and I was off to the races... And that would lead to alcohol (my poison) and wreckage again.

But I don't know, maybe if you guys cut out the weed part, you can pretend you're having one and nothing may become of it. I don't know.....

By the way, the last time I had the taste of alcohol on my lips, it was coming out instead of going in.... the taste left a las... "urp" lasting bad last impression. Don't care to taste it going in or out....

Hi guys...and thanx.....I agree with you...This would be another russian rulet with my mind...Have good one everybody:-)

I have not had a drink in 30 years as of May 2nd. I buy a 6-pack of O'douls on occasion and it does not set off any cravings. If anything, it keeps me from having cravings.

Good luck in your sobriety and do what feels right for you.

is this anything like only being alittle pregnant. for me i would not chance it.
