I’m at 3 years sober and I try to keep myself out of those situations… it a sscrafice but it’s worth it to stay sober… best choice I ever made was to get sober.

I'm pretty sure that's never happened.

Club Soda and OJ with a twist of lime. Alcohol was an occupational hazard, and I hated the hangover

This or tonic and lime

There are so many na beers now also

I gave up alcohol.. was weird at first with others in drinking settings.. they have finally stopped being self conscious about drinking around me.. if in a new environment with people offering me drinks at a party after the second time I say no thanks . I tell them the truth and I developed a drinking problem.. problem solved and they tend to make sure I stay full of na something and snacks..
I find people tend to respect the truth.

I was a happy drunk and people tolerated me.. I am happy to tolerate other happy drunks and be designated driver. I owe a lot of people :)

A 10 year alcoholic addiction nearly lost me my family. I don't care if someone offers me a glass a glass of wiskey george Washington himself distilled...I ain't drinking.

I just don't hang out with drinkers. Never realized just how annoying drunk people are until going to concerts sober.

I either don’t even notice or if I do, respect their decision.

I usually get a white styrofoam cup with a lid and straw, then put lemon water in it.

Everyone thinks it’s whiskey or something.

I’m at 3 months without a drop, feeling great

I’m trying to stop drinking but I really do enjoy alcohol maybe a little too much and all my friends do too. It’s difficult…

In 5 years I want to be 4-1/2 years sober

Bang the hottest chick in the room. That’s my go-to. Good luck.

But was curious what normal folk think of someone ordering a mocktail?



I don’t know anyone that would spend a minute of their time concerned over a grown man ordering a mock tail to stay sober. I used to drink with a guy who only ordered odouls.


I see lots of people now who drink the athletic brewing beer which I believe is NA as well.
