Oh wow. I see. What an awesome journey you’ve had! I’ve changed “sobriety” in my mind to mean “recovery.” My sober AA peeps would restart their sobriety for every sip of alcohol, use of it in cooking, mouthwash, etc. It’s all about intent for me. I started drinking NA beer about a month ago and I absolutely love it. It does nothing for me but I just love the taste. I’m a health nut too but have relaxed a bit and now I’m cool with all things in moderation, including carbs and sugars. Though to be fair I still consume much less than your average American even with my af beers. I personally thrive with moderation as I can get really intense with restricting small pleasures to my detriment. Probably why abstinence worked for me but I’m so encouraged with your experience I think I will try it. Thanks so much for sharing!
