Good Morning, hope every one is doing well. Have been going out over the weekend and just drinking sparkling with lime (like free), there are comments, but I just say I am not feeling the best which people understand as I have been a recluse for the last 2 and some weeks. AL is so engrained in our culture, I am feeling overwhelmed, it is everywhere, in one evening at least 10 times I was asked what wine I would like to drink even when I was holding water in my hand, previously I would always have a wine glass in hand, I am hoping to get stronger as the days pass, am determined to get to 30 days.

Day 20 for the 311 gang
Morning. Great job, halo! I know you were concerned about getting out there with your friends who drink alcohol. Congratulations on making it.
Last night I was at home with the family and it was brutally tough. My cravings were out of control. I ended up having an O'Douls that I found in the basement refrigerator. It was the only one among dozens of the real beer and I have no idea where it came from, but it tasted great! Saved me from slipping. Ten more days and we are at the 30 day mark. We can do it!! I know what I am buying today at the store when I pick up the ham for tomorrow's brunch- more O'Douls,
Have a good day, everyone. -
Day 20 for the 311 gang
Halfway, glad to hear you didn't slip, I was scared I might but am getting a lot of strength from this site and am reading and posting to help me stay on track. I never thought about non-alcoholic beer as an option, as I am mostly a wine drinker. Do other MW0 members recommend the non-alcoholic beer as an option? I am worried that drinking something that resembles alcohol will increase my cravings for the real thing. Then again if it works to prevent a slip that is great. Keep up the awesome work, 10 days to the 30 day mark.....On a mission, and the only option is success. My family and I deserve a better life, an AF life.:hComment

Day 20 for the 311 gang
Checking in. Still AF. Went with youngest daughter today for a bike ride. Had a great time. I have used the non-al beer at times and it seems to help. I think it depends on the person and how they handle the situation. Glad the group is still going. Helps me quite a bit. Have a great weekend and Easter everyone.:new: AF 3/11/13Comment

Day 20 for the 311 gang
Good job, all in! I am not a beer drinker either, but finding that O'Douls las night was a perfect solution for being home with the family and eating pizza. They know about my 30 day "cleanse" so I don't want to disappoint them either.
Just came in from a "Race for the Cure" event that was held...you guessed it- at a local bar. Had a diet coke with lime and then got the heck out of there. Too many offers.
Stay strong, tonight! The ten day count down starts tomorrow. Do I have that right or is that on Monday? Oh well, whatever.
