14 years sober today

I did it. You can too. Life is so great without alcohol. The Big Book Promises will come true.

That's awesome!! I'm 10 years myself after 18 years of heavy drinking. I barely even think about alcohol and it's great!

HAHA! I used to be on the lookout for mocktail recipes and this was back when the real only NA beer was O'Doul's lol. Now there are so many good NA beers, and I've had my share, but you know what? I'd rather have a glass of ice cold water. And that is exactly what I do, I drink about 100 ounces every day from my insulated bottled, and it's filled with ice. It is incredibly refreshing :-)

I've never tried NA anything. Too chicken of some random trigger.

Understood. I hear its different for everyone. For me, it satisfies any craving I may have.
