My husband is an alcholicwho stopped drinking is it safe for him to drink Odoul's a non alcohol beer?

Answer:
Perfectly safe. It might even help because he won't feel left out from drinking but he won't undergo the bad effects of drinking again.

i wouldnt o douls does taste a lot like normal beer, and some people can be triggered just by the taste of it

---

No just the fizz of beer ( non) would make him crave the real thing. Just my opin.

---

I would say no simply because of this: It tastes like beer. This is something he's trying to get away from entirely. Not just the alcohol, all of it. If an addict gets something close to what he used to have, it makes it more likely he'll go for the real thing. Doesn't matter what it is.

---

Why? Odouls is gross. Granted, it's NON-alcoholic, but it MAY remind him of why he likes alcohol so much in the first place. Like people who stopped smoking around OTHERS who smoke. Try soda.

He shouldn't even go there...but the thing is, HE should be in charge of his drinking/not drinking. HE should be the one on line asking questions. Or going to AA. Or calling his therapist, or what ever support he is using. If you are trying to keep him sober, that's codependency. Al-Anon is for the family of alcoholics and addicts. It's all about keeping the focus on oneself, not the other person.I know you love him and want to help. But he has to do it for himself.

35 days is not enough.4 years then he wont want it..he needs help...AA please go to meetings.or else he wont make it.its to hard to stop and keep off it...

---

I wouldn't tempt fate by even giving some one a taste of something familiar that resembles alcohol.Stick with coffee,tea or soda.Water is always good for you.

---

If he honestly plans on staying sober then that question would be the last thing on his mind. To even be thinking about it shows lack of willpower to stay sober. No it is not safe for him to drink it or any other non alcohol or alcohol product.

---

its ok. its unalcoholic isnt it?

---

No, he should not drink it! You have to change people, places and things to remain sober. He doesn't need to drink something that will bring back memories of his drinking days. He should find a new drink...a soft drink or coffee or flavored water.

Absolutely not! Quitting drinking is a psychological change as well. He has to get away from thinking that way. Physical withdrawal only lasts for relatively short period of time. The psychological withdrawal can last a lifetime.Don't do it. It's an unnecessary step in the wrong direction.

---

NO BECAUSE THAT WILL MAKE HIM CRAVE THE REAL THING. THE BEST THING TO DO IT KEEP BUSY AND THINK ABOUT OTHER THINGS. GOOD LUCK TO HIM I AM PROUD THAT HE IS TRYING TO STOP.

---

Good luck to your husband but please stay away from anything that may cause a relapse
