I used to have problems with drinking and drugs in the past that I managed to overcome. I spent nearly a year sober before I started drinking again but I somehow was able to manage it all, like a 'normal person' would. Last year I did a dry January and this year I'm doing it as well. Spent my night drinking NA beers today and had a great time. They make some great NA beers these days and I honestly don't see the point of drinking anymore.

I feel like NA beers would really help people with that, but I guess it depends on where you live. Where I live there's a huge beer culture and funnily enough that has not hindered the NA Beer development. It is actually thriving and one brewery is even saying NA beers make up like 25% of their sales. There are lots of good NA beer in every bar so you don't have to drink a tea or a basic soda if you go out.

Like you said, maybe it's not forever and I decide to have the occasional drink. Maybe I won't, we'll see. Good luck to you!
