Sponsor does not think I should take ANY medication. Get a new sponsor?
I take 10mg of lexapro and 0.5 mg per day of klonopin for severe depression and anxiety. My sponsor had discussed in the beginning that she was concerned about the benzo even if I have never abused them. My doctor is aware I quit drinking and he did not make any change to medication.
My sponsor said today that I should email my doctor and ask why I need to take a benzo if I am an alcoholic. (I told her like 3 times that I have GAD/Depression/OCD) She says "you know there are people in AA who smoke weed but...(insert God/Spirituality thing)" I know that she does have a point but I don't abuse my medicine. She is worried that it will "interfere with my 1st step". I mean I took alcohol out and taking my mental health drugs out would make me suicidal. Should I get a new sponsor? I just feel really upset right now, like I did something wrong.
