There are many ways to treat illnesses. My approach to wellness is very holistic and naturopathic.
I have nothing against others having a path that includes medication.
I often attend open NA meetings as a part of my daily recovery program (I'm not alcoholic or addict) and find peace, serenity and strong recovery role models in the NA rooms. I'm very grateful for them and the friends I've made.
The basic reference I think of with that statement is that alcohol is a drug.
