I consider myself fortunate to not be on medications. I believe I read up to 70% of alcoholics also have a mental disorder (other than addiction)? I keep it simple. My doctor and I have a print out from a reputable treatment center “Medication Guide for People in Recovery”. This lists meds to avoid (note, doesn’t say absolutely can’t use). There is a psychiatric section that lists medications as acceptable such as Prozac, Zoloft, and more.

Also, there are definitely AA meetings that aren’t all gloomy and negative. I believe the 12 steps can help a person with anxiety issues. Not going to say it will help everyone not need meds or that AA is for everyone though.
