Are nonalcoholic drinks keeping you hooked, or can they actually help you stay sober?
In this episode, I answer one of the questions I get asked constantly: Are non-alcoholic drinks okay to rely on or are they just perpetuating the dependence?
I break down why I think they're one of the most useful tools available to you, how to choose what to drink, and the thing worth watching for as you look for replacements for your old alcoholic favorites.
You'll learn:
why so much of drinking was never really about the alcohol, but the ritual around it;
the real math behind trace alcohol (and why a 0.5% beer isn't likely to get you drunk);
why some people find certain non-alcoholic drinks triggering, and what to reach for instead;
how to stop chasing the "perfect replacement" and start asking what you're actually looking for;
the one pattern to stay curious about, so a helpful tool doesn't quietly develop into a new dependence.
If you've been avoiding nonalcoholic drinks because you were worried that would be cheating at sobriety, this episode will put that worry to rest.
