That is a good article. I'm glad I didn't listen to my old sponsor when he said I should stop taking the medication. He had helped me in many ways before then but it this case somethin' told me not to listen. Luckily I had been sober long enough before starting the medication to not be persuaded by the ill-informed and misguided. Early in my sobriety I very well may have canned the meds and gone back to whiteknuckling the depressions. I sponsor a man now who takes an anti-depressant. One of the reasons he asked me is he knows I take one too.
AA is a life saver, it was for me. No one's ever called it the bedrock of mental health but there are hearts of gold galore.
