Worrying about patterns, looking for support

Good morning- glad to see this group is formed, and hoping some of you are still checking in :)

I am looking for a email penpal, some who struggles with alcohol...

Hi There - I too have struggled with alcohol over the last year.  I drink more often now than I ever did before surgery and it concerns me.  I drink about 4-5 days a week and have thought of trying to find a local support group to attend.  It hasn't effected my life in any bad ways YET... but I don't want it to get there.  My behavior is just not me.  I've been hiding wine so that my husband doesn't see how much I'm drinking and it seems to be the only thing I can think of that I want to do when I get home from work at night.  I too am looking for other wls patients that I can confide in. :)

I'll message you - thanks for replying!

I also could use some support with the drinking,I drink 2-3 days most weeks &I it's always rum & diet coke, have been doing it now for 4yrs any advise besides the obvious would be appreciated, the struggle is real especially when you are in a relationship with a person who drinks...oh & I don't drink because I like the taste, I like the effect &I can't seem to stop at just a "buzz" never have had an alcohol problem before...drank when I was younger like most but that's about it
