what is T4R? yes still no drinks in me yet. the non alc beer would be to get over the habit of going to the fridge and cracking something at the end of the day....a very satisfying feeling. i don't drink soda so coke won't do it. also for something to do to join hubby when he has a beer. i feel like aa would be too much like church so not too into going there.
thanks for the suggestion though!
thanks all for the support everyone!

Dove,

I get AF beer at times. It really helps when I am sitting there in the hotel restaurant/bar and everyone around me is drinking.

I don't care if it is a crutch or whatever.

It works and I don't consume alcohol.

T4R is someone who was posting rather nasty posts. RJ removed them.

Really glad you are through with day 3!! YAY!!

Stay on track and before you know it you will be through all the rough stuff.

Love,
Cindi

Dove my dear,it sounds like you have a great start.This site saved my life...I can not take AA.There is another program that has been a help to me called (women for soberiety)You can google it.They are a very construtive group that leave your relationship to God out of your recovery.This site is so important in the day to day challenges that we face while trying to get and stay sober.If you have not been to CHAT,it is a great place to interact on a personal level with others who are in recovery.Feel free to PM me if I can help...Evie

You are doing great Dove, you must be feeling fabby. I can never understand the af beer/wine stuff, just don't see the point when I could have something a/f that tasted delicious instead, I have also found that it just gives me a want for the real thing but whatever works for you go for it.

Dove,

Day 4 and 5 will go by and they are typically the most difficult.

After that, it only starts to get better every day.

Can't wait 'til you are posting about your 30 days!!! You will get there. :l

Love,
Cindi
