Topic: RE: WLS tell folks or keep it quiet.
I told a number of people and they werfe all supportive. Since I would NOT have surgery if I could go back in time - would not have to make the decision today.

Topic: Anxious but sober
I am less than two days away from my sinus surgery, and becoming anxious about a ton of things. I have to put together work for my substitute teacher to do with the kids for five days. I also have to get my bedroom tidied, so I can exist in it without feeling like crap. The floor is littered with junk. I just spent the day cleaning and doing schoolwork for my classes as it is. Now, I must attend my outpatient treatment group, and I am exhausted. The thing is, I also have to attend group tomorrow night, and I don't want to.
The other part of my anxiety is that of relapsing on my pain meds, because I only have about 37 days of sobriety as it is. I had a little fear when I had my WLS and my hernia, but I had years of sobriety then.
I just needed to share what is going on right now. I am making a ton of meetings, and enjoying my new IOP group immensely.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

I only told close family and friends and most were supportive. Only my daughter was not. As people have asked me (like people at work), I'm telling them the truth and everyone is VERY encouraging and supportive... at least to my face anyway.

Topic: RE: WLS tell folks or keep it quiet.
I was very open about my surgery, and still am. I am discouraged because my weight has stalled, but that is because when I relapsed on alcohol 14 months ago, I stopped doing the healthy eating that went with the surgery. I basically gave up on myself overall. Now that I have a month of sobriety, I hope to get back the gumption I had to follow the dietary guidelines given me when I had my surgery.
I have been blessed by only having had about two people rain on my parade, but I basically told them I would not listen to their negative talk and to just stuff it. That ended any negativity.

Topic: ~SPIRITUAL~ A DAY AT A TIME
02-15 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
When I become angry, can I admit to it and state it as a fact without allowing it to build up and burst out in inappropriate ways? Pent-up anger, I've finally begun to learn, quickly shatters the peace of mind that's so critical to my on-going recovery. When I become enraged and lose control. I unwittingly hand over control to the person, place, or thing with which I am enraged. WHEN I'M ANGRY WILL I TRY TO REMEMBER THAT I AM ENDANGERING MYSELF? WILL I "COUNT TO TEN" BY CALLING A FRIEND IN THE PROGRAM AND SAY THE SERENITY PRAYER ALOUD?
TODAY I PRAY
May I recognize angry feelings and let them out a little a time, stating my anger as a fact, instead of allowing it to fester into rage and explode uncontrollably.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Anger is. Rage need not be.
