N/A drinks - training wheels, a crutch, or great!

So, I'm doing Sober October. I am starting to really like N/A stuff -- Athletic beers, phony negronis, I even found a tolerable n/a wine -- but I'm sort of ambivalent about them. Part of me thinks I'm on training wheels or not really embracing sobriety by still having a faux beverage at trigger times (after work, etc.). The other part of me says that I've developed a taste for more savory drinks so it's fine, no biggie.

I'm curious how others feel?
