Book AA says Father of Light which connects to James 1:17 so does Faith without works is dead. Dr Bob wanted to call it the James movement Bill Wilson wanted to call it the Bill Wilson movement because he had a lot less humility then Dr Bob who sponsored 1000 times more alcoholics. Bill Wilson got paid by AA because he was to good to work.

I know very little about religious teachings dsmaxis10, only the things that I learned were at Sunday School, and I only went then to that so I could get the free little cards with the pretty pictures they handed out out out the end.
When I was at school (Australia) you could elect not to go to Scripture, so I was in the "Tree Lover's Club", where we drew pictures of trees growing in the playground with charcoal. It was really cool, with only a few members, and so glad to be away from the Scripture Teacher who really was a mean old man. This does not mean that I don't have a 'spiritual' part to my being, I do, and the best way I can describe that is to say that I'm a humanist. Maybe I should start a group with the acronym H? It stands for Harmless
.
I'm glad you are still going to AA and seem to contributing at all levels, and no, AA won't cure schizophrenia, but it can help keep you sober. My brother learned that same lesson.
I so wish you the best dsmaxis schizophrenia is very difficult to deal with, and you are doing so well. Sober, being of service, and having a new mentor.
Do you have any schizophrenia support groups where you are? We have them here, but I suppose you have already checked them out?
Enjoy your meeting, and I believe you would be of great service to AA because schizophrenia (in all its forms) is more prevelant than people care to recognise.
Peace, dsmaxis.

The stigma certainly does need to be crushed dsmaxis.
I can remember many years ago when, by chance, a bumped into a man I knew from AA, and it was clear that he was having a psychotic episode. He had been told by members to stop taking his meds, and that all he needed to do was his 4th Step! I had to have him hospitalised.
I thought that sort of thinking was no longer around AA and sorry that it's happened to you.
My brother no longer goes to NA because of the very stigma you describe.
AA is not the venue to have religious "arguments" dsmaxis10, it's a place of support for people who are trying to get sober. Arguments on religion are not what it's about.
Really glad you have all the other supports in place. Supports that are devoted to your own specific needs and stigma free.

Perhaps you can just not talk about your prescribed meds or about religion in the rooms. They are both very personal. None of anyone else's business. Plenty of recovery stuff to talk about in the rooms without getting onto those subjects I reckon.
What does your sponsor suggest?
Wishing you all the best for your sobriety and recovery. BB
