I don't find it odd personally. My counselor and I have been working together for months and right off the bat we didn't discuss nor consider meds. I don't want ANY meds unless it is something necessary to regulate my health....know what I mean. My Dr. is on board with this philosophy as well.
I also in my recovery put me first and I could care less what goes in my records if that is what needs to be for me to get the help. While I may have alcoholism and counseling listed for the world to see......I also had years of ER visits, anxiety-xanax prescription and so many abnormal liver tests that drs were certain I had liver disease of some sort.
I could care less what anyone thinks since my getting help and finally getting sober has saved me.
All the best!
