Hi, timtron,
And welcome to SR!
Laurie has given you some really good information. I hope you do the right thing. You don't have to suffer in silence, and risk your sobriety.
And those who give medical advice without being a doctor -- SHOULDN"T! :nono:
That type of information almost killed my son! Unless your sponsor is a doctor -- and YOUR doctor to boot -- what he's doing is wrong. No if's and's or but's. You might want to consider a new sponsor!
Shalom!
