WARNING!!! STAY AWAY FROM ALCOHOL

Hi all. I hope I got some of your attention. As one who obviously has an addictive personality (ugh, hello, I LOVE FOOD) I traded one addiction for another, which could have been fatal. I am an alcoholic! There, I said it. I have been sober for almost 3 weeks now with the help of a detox center, AA, an individual therapist, as well as group therapy. While trying to get sober on my own I had a seizure while at work. Obviously, this can be dangerouse and possibly fatal. My blood sugar level was 48 which is low so that also contributed to it. I am not a diabetic or diagnosed with any Blood Sugar Disorder. This seizure was caused by alcohol withdrawel. Thank God it happened at work around people that love and care about me. My co-workers are wonderful people and they truly care. It scared them. I am a waitress at a highly popular (there's one near you I'm sure) family food chain restaurant and one of my customers was a nurse at the local hospital. Again, Thank God she was there to help. I admitted my problem at the ER in front of my parents and was admitted into detox for 6 days to be medically detoxed. I just wanted to heed the warning to others about this danger. If you have an addiction to alcohol, please seek safe help. If you don't, just be careful. This creeped up on me. I am happy to start my life over once again. Please keep me in your thoughts. BTW. I am 3 1/2 yrs Post OP. Open RNY -140 lbs. THank you!
