Going to see a psychiatrist Friday!

I've been sober for over 3 months, now, and an issue that I had been drowning in booze has been sitting "high and dry", and getting more bothersome each day since going sober. I have been to a Christian Counselor a few times, but lost my confidence in them, as they seemed to make me feel worse instead of better. My issue is going to be dealing with bitterness that is 21 years old. My doctor has put me on Lexapro(still in the first week of taking), and I am taking Buspar. I think the Lexapro is going to be tolerated better than a couple I've tried before. I don't know what to expect from the Psychiatrist, being a first visit and all. I was able to make some progress with my faith in God, and didn't know if going to a Dr. would "go against" the Biblical principle of AA, but after 3 months of having a few decent and lots of very bad days, I need some relief. I tend to dwell on negative things instead of positive ones.....
