1 year sober today for me 🎉 Interesting topic this one, I personally used the alcohol free beers to help me quit, I carried on with my daily habit of having a few beers but just swapped them out for alcohol free ones. This worked great for me and within a few weeks I slowly started having less and less until I just suddenly realised I hadn’t picked any up for a few days and I’d stopped drinking them. I’d actually substituted in Vimto as my habitual drink and now a year in it’s just plain old water. I find now that I don’t really want an alcohol free beer even if I go out for ‘drinks’ with friends. Instead I’ll have a lemonade, this makes me realise that I’m well and truly over alcohol and beer specifically and I’m completely free. It’s so liberating. Keep up the good work guys, the content is great and helps reinforce my sober life whilst hopefully helping others start their journey into a better life.

Fantastic and huge congrats on your 1-year Soberversary (not sure that's a real term but it feels like it should be!). This is really useful insight and a very interesting take on what is, as you say, an interesting topic.

I totally agree about the 0.0 Guinness, it’s brilliant. There are definitely times when non-alcoholic drinks feel right for a host of reasons. I’m busy learning the Spanish and Greek for “non-alcoholic beer” because holiday times can be tricky. Keep up the chats, they’re very helpful 👍

Blackcurrant and lemonade is my go-to drink. Try it sometime, it's delicious!

A great topic guys , one I too have struggled with since quitting the booze 4 months ago . Like you mentioned, I too didn’t touch non alcoholic beers till I was happy in myself with not being tempted back to an alcoholic beer - it’s definitely a strange to get your head around - the non alcoholic varieties alcoholic drinks . I tend now to just have one Guinness zero, then switch to a coffee or soda water . It’s a odd , being the odd one out a social occasions , not that anyone else says anything I think it’s me trying to refit into my group of friends sober , whilst they are all drinking . Thanks guys and keep up the great videos ! Nick

Thanks @nickt5361. It may be just me, but I also think there is something quite cool and assured about being the one who orders a non-alcoholic beer. Probably just me ;-) I definitely think it's horses for courses though. For some, just the taste will be too triggering but as you say, if you are comfortable, then they can actually be great.

I used to use low & no beers on previous dry spells but I’ve stayed away from them this time round. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this is my longest sober period ever!! I also really like the fact that I’m not contributing to the profits of the alcohol industry.

0.0. Guinness and 0.0 Heineken are both amazing. There’s a big shift away from drinking these days. particularly with the younger generation. The big companies are totally on to it and absolutely nailed it with these two recipes. I have been off booze for 6 years. I rarely drink nonalcoholic beers. But every once and a while ill have one or 2. Yes. Like a normal person drinks alcohol. Haha. Thats the level of appeal and it has never changed. To fit in at a pub or a party. Sure. Why not. I also actually enjoy the taste. Traveling to Ireland and being able to sit with my partner who’s a normal drinker and for me to have a pint of Guinness 0.0 well. Something just nice about that.

I think if it takes the edge of you slipping it's not a bad idea. Especially at functions, nights outs . I love the taste of beer in summer as thirst quencher. Better option to the alcohol option. Just my turn too

In the middle summer I do sometimes like a alcohol free Corona and lime just because it does taste nice and is refreshing. I wouldn't have more than one or two though
