Help - Any RNY-ers still drink

I need to talk to someone - I had a drinking problem before RNY in August and I have been drinkign since - i know this is wrong and please no lectures but I need to talk with someone who is going thru this


Again -- NO LECTURES please

I don't think you're going to find any lectures here.  There are so many of us who totally relate to what you've written.  Let me know if you'd like to exchange emails.

Love,
Michelle

My best friend is 2 years out and has a major drinking problem.  I have tried to help her and recomend surrounding yourself with good friends and support. 

good luck

I definitely won't lecture.  I am a recovering, often relapsing, alcoholic.  I have been in AA for 19 years, sober for 8+, then 6+ years, till last year.  I empathize with the struggle to deal with alcohol, and had my most recent relapse post-RNY. 

What has helped me is to attend AA and work the 12 steps of recovery.  Most recently, I am in outpatient treatment for my drinking.

Feel free to PM me if you need to talk.  I understand the struggle.
