When I was 20 and had all sorts of phobias, fears OCD - I was a real mess I went to this doctor who insisted my only problem was I was an alcoholic. She was 100% wrong but I digress. But I went to AA anyway and way back then, (1978) I was a young and there were not that many young people so we all hung out and I had a lot of fun for many many years. I think I stopped for 35 years. But I just got sick of AA and I just had to get out. And then all the women in my home group literally shunned me! Even on FB. But I wasn't drinking and didn't drink until a few years later and even then it was not a problem. But after the gastric bypass a couple friends said, you better watch because a lot of people develop alcoholism after about a year or 2. I didn't believe them but guess what?

So now I am just going to honest and admit I've got a problem and tell everyone here and maybe find some other sort of support group - NOT AA.

Nice to meet you as a new honest alcoholic. It really sucks.
