My AA home group has about 1/2 of our members
using Bi-Polar meds. It's often mentioned when sharing
and no one lifts an eyebrow. ..

One of my closest AA friends...sober 15 years...has been
helping newcomers deal with both their alcoholism and
Bi Polar issues. Now the women she sponsored earlier
are sponsorering and the circle widens....

While I am not Bi-Polar I do take other meds for
various health issues. I figure God wants me to
take advantage of whatever necessary to live
in comfort and joy.

I don't ask my doctors how to work my AA Steps
I don't ask my AA group how to use my medications.

That's the best advice I can share on this topic.
