Thanks! : ) still, justme ****************************************** Yes, there have been several people on here with the same addiction. It often seems to get worse after WLS...replacing one addiction with another maybe? But, congrats on your sobriety! That's a great success story! We're all here for you.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 We have heard from several members of this group who have issues with alcohol. But I think you're the first one who recognized the problem, got control, and came out on top. I think 6 months is terrific, and my best wishes for continued success. One question, you mentioned that you were maintaining your weight loss while drinking. How has the weight been since you turned the corner?

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2002 Report Share Posted July 21, 2002 Justme-thank you so much for sharing your story.I think it's a warning we all need to hear!I have heard of others who turn to alcohol after wls-replacing one addiction with another.I think many of us need to learn how to FEEL our feelings,instead of covering them up. Beal 2/09/01 -120 even bother. I am thin skinned..sensitive..whatever phrase you choose...this was highly personal but something I felt needed to be said...their has to be more than one addict who has had this surgery...besides me or even someone you know who is at risk. Thanks! : ) still, justme __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
