Turning to alcohol after gastric bypass is actually very common and very sad
I've only been on this site since yesterday and find it extremely supportive, you have come to a wonderful place!!!
I'm only 3 weeks sober, and I'm not an AAer either, it's just not for me. But I have a very strong desire to not drink and I feel wonderful as of late. Getting off the booze is tough physically for the first week or two, but jump that hurdle and you'll be on your way.
I hope you continue to post here, because if you want to get sober, you can definitely do it
