I apologize to anyone I offended, but I did not realize how many alcoholic's use medicine to stop depression and anxiety. I do find it hypocritical of AA to look down on people who use marijuana to calm themselves , all I know is when I stop drinking I lose my anxiety , I never have suffered depression in my life, but I have had some very low periods in my life where I had low self esteem, social anxiety around non alcoholic's, all caused by booze, all I know is that depression is real and I meant no harm to anyone truly depressed, but I believe there are people who take meds who do not need them.
