Wine?

I have shared this numerous times. I really find it not that hard to. But I do get sick of listening to myself.
I am 8 months sober. I was an alcoholic before surgery. I stopped drinking after it. I didn't have a drink till about three months after. At first I was able to drink in small doses. I thought I had control of it. Well 2 and half years later I landed at my rock bottom. Trust me it wasn't pretty. I don't even like to think about that week.
Let's just say I lost about a week of my life I blacked out for a few days. To think back on it I try not to find shame. I do still. It can be very hard to look at ourselves.
I am not saying you are an alcoholic or anyone else is. I know some people can drink without a problem. I just know I can not. There is no moderation with me. With food also. I try not to keep junk in the house.
If you want to stop your weight loss it can happen when we start to drink. I know I did. I know I could be down another 20 pounds. I am struggling to get the last 20 pounds off.
Going to AA has helped me a lot. I have to say WLS has really helped me also. Where before I would just trash myself then go eat and drink again. Being an alcoholic was not a goal I had growing up. I don't wi**** on anyone.
Really think about it if you want to have a drink. It is not that glamorous. I would rather eat something than drink it.
Those of you have helped me thank you for your support.
