Has anyone become an alcoholic since surgery?

I was just wondering if anyone feels that they've become an alcoholic since having had their surgery? I seem to be drinking a lot more frequently since I had my surgery. Not only am I drinking more frequently, but I'm also drinking a lot more, quantity-wise. I've embarrassed myself on more than one occasion by getting too drunk. This weekend was the last straw. I feel so terrible about my drunken behaviour. I feel that I may have actually ruined some good friendships. Has anyone else gone through this experience? How did you deal with it?
