Sounds like maybe the "alcohol free"/"0.0%" beer (not really 100% alcohol free) is something you should try. Tastes and looks like beer, but doesn't come with the buzz (which is the thing that your brain hooks into and uses to tell you it isn't enough yet).

I have tried almost every major non-alcoholic beer in the U.S., and none of them truly taste exactly like beer.
There’s a brand I’ve seen in stores called “Athletic” and it’s nearly indistinguishable

Over in the UK I think Adnams Ghost Ship 0.5% is the best one commonly available that I’ve had. Most of them are far too sweet.
They are improving all the time.
Some are really good. If you like german weissbeer then Franziskaner Alkoholfrei is more or less indistiguishable to me.
There are other good ones too.

Agreed, but if you drink them exclusively for a few weeks, your taste buds and brain will reframe around them, and it'll cease to be a problem. I did this with Brewdog's Punk AF, and after 2 weeks on that, most non-alcoholic beers triggered my brain's "I'm drinking beer!" response.
It's a lot of work for overpriced soft drinks, and isn't for everyone.
Also, I'm back to drinking real beer again anyway.
