So why is it that so many A.A.er's can't accept having bipolar and alcoholism. When I drink, the meds are rendered useless...when I don't drink and stop meds I wind up drinking to self-medicate. I love A.A. but have found such a large degree of people who think I would be better off taking no meds.
I suffer from depression and have learned to never talk about it in AA or with the majority of other alcoholics. The last thing I want is unsolicited advice from people who think they know everything. I go to a shrink for depression and AA for alcoholism and both are under control. I have a sponsee who is treated for bipolar disorder with the agreement that she will follow her doctor's advice.
