OSSG-drinking (new list)
Hello.
Have you had weight loss surgery and wonder if you’re drinking more
than you should? If you’re concerned that you may be replacing one
bad habit with another, this list is for you. You don’t have to be
committed to abstaining from alcohol to join this list. Together, we
can decide how much alcohol is safe for us to consume and figure out
ways to control our drinking.
It would help me to simply have a group of people to help hold me
accountable for how much I drink.
If you are in AA or another 12 step program, please join us. Your
experiences might help some people get to a group that could help
them.
If someone is dealing with other substance abuse problems, they are
welcome.
On several OSSG lists there’s been a history of some very
confrontational and angry posts about people who drive while
drinking. Since this list is for people who are admitting that they
have an alcohol problem, such posts are not welcome on this list.
Please join me, and maybe together we can help make the most of the
surgery by reducing our use of alcohol.
Thanks!
