I second HistoryTeach.
It is NOT a sign of weakness. Only a sign that you are human like the rest of us. The truth is....you run a great risk of relapse by not being on the psych meds. There was a reason you self-medicated with drugs and alcohol.

I know AA (and i can only guess about NA) really pushes members to discontinue use of anti-depressants and such, but we know so much more about addiction and mental illness these days and AA, unfortantely, hasn't caught up to understanding this and that what they are asking is harmful.

I've known many in AA who understand this and dispite what others think of them....they know they need to take their meds.

It is NO different than a diabetic who needs insuline or an asthmatic who needs an inhalor to breath. It's not a sign weakness....it's a sign we are all HUMAN.
