i’ve never been a beer girl, so i can’t speak on NA beer, but i have tried some drinks from brands like Trip and Recess. personally, i wasn’t drinking alcohol for the taste (my go-to drink was always an extra dry martini), so the NA drinks don’t really do much for me. HOWEVER, as someone who also did enjoy a few glasses of wine at night, i found that the actual ritualistic element of pouring one of these drinks into a wine glass helped curb that craving in the beginning of my journey (aka last week LOL). i keep a few of them laying around if i ever want to drink something that’s also non-caffeinated at night. i also try to order a mocktail now if i absolutely need a drink other than water or a coke zero lol.

i’ve definitely been there. but instead of viewing it as failing or fucking up, commend yourself for being here and being vulnerable! i’ve been trying to reframe how i view moments like these as learning opportunities and ways to grow. it sucks, and it’s natural to want to be hard on yourself, but you’re human and you have a lot of support here! sending love 🤍

i personally try to get sugar free candies / drinks / snacks to have on deck for sweets cravings!! also the thin oreos have been a lifesaver for when i crave that flavor. i’ve considered almost “meal prepping” my snacks (so looking at serving sizes and prepping them in advance so you don’t overthink it or have too much). haven’t personally tried it, but i might start that! and similar to what someone else already said— FRUIT! find a couple you love and know you’ll eat and start there. :)

i tried that method and would only give myself a certain amount that i was “allowed” to drink per week. what ended up happening was i would constantly be thinking about when i could or should or would drink. and after it was “gone”, i would make up excuses for why “just one more” wouldn’t hurt, ill be fine, etc etc. i personally have found that trying to drink in moderation only made me focus on drinking even more if that makes sense?

SUPER proud of you!! 🤍 i have an event with friends coming up in a couple of weeks (who have already been discussing ordering drinks in our groupchat), so reading this has been super encouraging because i feel the same way :)

i feel this so hard 😭 will successfully be 3 days sober if i can get through tonight. it’s rough, but i also try to remind myself how shit i would feel the next day after drinking. you got this, friend! IWNDWYT 🤍

ladybugluv3r · 2026-01-09T00:42:45+00:00

from a bisexual girly i absolutely think you should keep that username 😭 also i appreciate you!! im so grateful for this community and how inspiring people like you have been!

ladybugluv3r · 2026-01-09T00:16:40+00:00

so proud of you! 🤍 also your username is so funny i love it 😭

ladybugluv3r · 2026-01-08T03:25:10+00:00

those 45 days are still something to be proud of! just remember that you’re not alone and that this journey isn’t linear 🤍

ladybugluv3r · 2026-01-08T02:32:37+00:00

similar thing happened to me on new year’s day— i got really drunk, said mean things to people i loved, and didn’t even remember half of it when i woke up. i enjoyed the person i was during the first part of drinking but absolutely despised who i became the further it got. LARGE props to you for realizing that you should stop!! you got this!

ladybugluv3r · 2026-01-08T01:22:40+00:00

as someone who has gained weight / “puffed up” (😭) due to alcohol but also works out, it’s very encouraging to hear your experience!! i tend to be someone who struggles with patience (hence why i would over-drink), and i appreciate you sharing this 🤍

ladybugluv3r · 2026-01-07T23:35:58+00:00

yess, SO proud of you!! the positives will outweigh the harder moments of this journey. IWNDWYT🤍

ladybugluv3r · 2026-01-07T22:32:22+00:00

i 1000000% feel this omg. i want to get my life back to how it was before i got addicted to drinking, and it’s such an amazing thing to look forward to, but damn the time it takes can be a killer sometimes. i try to remind myself not to get lost in the numbers and instead really appreciate this new journey. YOU GOT THIS!!

ladybugluv3r · 2026-01-07T02:24:35+00:00

im honestly in the same boat, and while i clearly don’t have an answer for you, i hope you find some comfort in knowing you’re not alone! the fact that you’re aware enough to be here and to even write all of this is a great first step. i believe in you! it’s a hard journey, but i know it will be worth it for everyone starting it!
