You do you, non-alcoholic still has some alcohol always lead me back down the road to hell.
Bad idea. Pretty soon you may think “why not just have one beer.”
It’s not worth the temptation for me. I never drank for the sheer taste. I drank to get drunk. So any kind of temptation is dangerous for me.
Thinking I "could control it" was my first problem. If I could control myself with ANY amount of alcohol, I wouldn't be an alcoholic!!! For me, any amount of alcohol only awakened the beast that wants MORE.
Case in point- at a work function held at Buffalo Wild Wings I tried a dipping sauce on something. Next thing I knew I was ready to buy it by the gallon to take home. When I asked the waitress what the sauce was she said, "oh, that's our bourbon honey mustard" well damn point proven.
Odouls serves no purpose. It merely entertains the thought and desire to continue down that same path without consequences. Eventually, the taste of beer without the effects won't be enough. I have seen it too many times. It's no different than the people who decided to vape instead of smoking cigarettes because "it ain't cigarettes". Medical help for chronic pain has nothing to do with this
Its got alcohol in it. I slammed 12 of em hoping for relief before my first relapse. There are zero beverages.
