7 years out - not doing well

Sep 02, 2012

I am forever grateful that I had the surgery.  Having the surgery got me back into enjoying life and doing things I hadn't been able to do.  I have a fantastic job.  I was laid off from West Coast Transporations over a year ago due to decline in their business.  I did get a new job that I enjoy.  I still work with the Military but now on the pay side. 

Now my problem.  I have gained lots of weight back due to drinking, eating too much and not exercising.  Well, Duh!  lol

I have been drinking wayyy too much and I am ashamed of myself.   I went to see my Dr. to address the issue.  I will have my blood workup done and she gave me some numbers to call for counseling.  I believe I will have to go back to the beginning of when I decided to have this surgery and the happiness I felt when I was approved and all the hard work I did to get there.  I don't know why I am drinking so much.  I like the way it makes me feel but hate the way I feel.  I am in good health but drinking is going to ruin it!  I am looking for a support group in my area I may attend and receive support for this.  I don't want alcohol to ruin my life.
