Im curious why some threads have been closed and people banned. I read the threads and still dont get it. The big book is very clear, after we work the steps,if we have other problems go get help from a doctor or some other professional. Some people do need meds, and that should be between them and their doctor.
One thing that I have seen happen alot is that someone will stop drinking on Monday, go to a doctor on Thursday and tell them they are depressed. I know that during my first few months I was very depressed, I had just lost my best friend in the world,Alcohol. For me as time went on and I went thru the process of the steps my depression got better.
At 7 years I went thru a depression and had a doctors appointment so I told him about it. he offered me drugs and I thought I would try the 12th step again first before I tried the drugs. 12th step did its trick for me. Other members of my family needed meds. Its up to the individual and their doctor.
