fenway, i am one person in AA not against it and i know others with the same opinion as me. we didnt get sober to live in pain and if the motives are right, theres nothing worng with it.
i have been though 6 surgeries to carve out cancer while in recovery. 2 of the surgeries were quite serious and i was on some pretty heavy pain meds. yup, there were poeple against me takin pain meds. that was their problem. the surgeons who performed the surgeries knew a lot more about the after care than the people in AA.
i do suggest keeping in contact with someone not oppsed and letting them know how yer thinker is thinkin.
get weller soon!! prayer yer way.
