so i had the the surgery april 15 and i started at 255lbs and now i am 170lb , i am not happy at alll and al i do is drink alcohol every day and i never use to do that but it makes me feel cause i black out for a good moment so i dont remember any thing but when i become sober again i just wanna start drinnking again to black out cause but being sober just makes me more deppressed cause people tell me about all the trouble i started but that never use to be me so i just dont know what to do
I am sober now (15years) and in the course of recovery in AA, I learned that I eat and drink to fill up a hole in my soul. There was an emptiness, an unhappiness within me. And I tried to cover-up the unhappiness, fill the emptiness with alcohol, food and sex. And none of that worked.
The only way to get rid of the emptiness and unhappiness is to dig down to the source and then work to rid myself of what caused the unhappiness.
I suspect that your surgery addressed one of the symptoms of your unhappiness, but not the source. That is why you still try to get rid on the unhappiness and have turned to alcohol. As you have discovered, alcohol doesn't solve any problems, and adds more problems to the pile.
I suggest that you consider a recovery program that will help you address the source of your unhappiness and resolve to put an end to it, rather than drown it out with alcohol.
