I have a non medical question to ask all of you who attend AA.

I have seriously been thinking about attending AA. But here is the possible conflict.

I found out before a had my gallbladder removed last Friday that I was to begin IOP for severe depression, My psychiatrist also up'd my mood stabalizers. I wasn't able to attend IOP this week or meet with my therapist for the first time because of the surgery. I will begin IOP next week, as well as start visiting with my therapist.

Ok - finally here's the question. Do you think it would be a good idea to start AA while I'm having these problems, and going to IOP, or wait until I am more stable.

I appoligize if this is a silly question.
