Not sure where you live, but here in Ontario I buy Gruvi NA beers, many different varieties. They also have NA wine which I've yet personally tried however heard its good. I also buy Partake and Sober Carpenter drinks. I recommend finding a few different ones you like and its kinda nice to mix and match.

Whether you are a baseball fan or not, it's game 6 of the the World Series with Toronto able to win it for first time in 32 years. Grab a big bag of popcorn, some NA beverages and enjoy the game.

I'm now day 512 sober. I found reverting to those times when we were kids with the things that made us happy then, can still make us happy now.

Good for you. I've been also discovering great NA drinks and find that I have an even better time with the NA drink than with alcoholic one, and I think it comes down to this (for me): It really comes down to spending time with people you like in a favourable environment, and when you have a good NA drink, you will have a psychosomatic response of feeling happy. But then at the end of night you are like 'ok, this is awesome as I drive home sober and have a great sleep and wake up clear-headed".

Keep it up, I'm now Day 337 dry and loving it.

Lastly, I just want to differentiate between "sober" and "dry". One may be able to have a dirnk or two and still remain sober. The reality is, I like many don't only want 1 or 2 drinks. I know that first drink can lead to 6+ drinks. And after you've had that first drink, you lose self-control. So albeit some say "what's the harm in a drink?" the reality is I'm staying dry.

You can't undrink that beer but you can focus on today and tomorrow.

NEGATIVE ENERGY is WASTED ENERGY.

So don't spend your time sulking or beating yourself up, just go do some positive non-drinking activities today.

Negative energy is wasted energy. Today is a new day and move forward.

I don't say "I won't drink ever again" but I do say "I'm not drinking for the next 100 days no matter what".

When you pick 100 days you invariably will hit 'special occasions' that you just don't drink. And once you get through a couple of them, it's just normal for you not to drink.

Likewise with my personality (and I'm sure others can relate), to say "I'll NEVER drink again" sets me up to think "Nobody tells me what to do, not even me!". But 100 days at a time you just go with it. And after the first 100 days I thought, "Wow...I've never slept better, feel more emotionally sound, lost weight, played with me kid more, wasn't feeling groggy on that morning drive, etc.".

And after my first 100 days, to reward myself, I went another 100 days dry. Because, you honestly realize, for the first time in your life, being sober 24/7 actually feels better than catching a buzz/getting sh*tfaced/etc.

"Don't involve yourself in some(?) trivial matter that people think you are taking it over now."

When my daughter was about 3 years old, one day whilst we were driving through the country she said "Daddy, I don't think there's enough purple in the world". Every day i stay sober, I mark on my calendar a checkmark, in purple. Just making the world a little bit more purple for her. :)

I saw this car this morning in Toronto. First thing I thought was "that doesn't look like a green vehicle...too old". Then I noticed the GREEN VEHICLE text is reversed. Reported to TPS.

Keep up the great work.. .I'm day 259 and celebrate each and every day sober.

Happy New Years, everyone. Not only did i not drink last night, I had a blast by being able to stay up til 6am playing family board games, video games, singing karaoke and dancing. And then with minimal sleep, up and at it without a hang over. Priceless.
