This makes me livid. It is so upsetting when you hear someone speak about this in a meeting. It kind of turned me off to AA, along with other things. It creates so much shame around mental health. Some people need it to even out their brain chemistry. We don't talk negatively about people who have to take medication for other issues.

It changed my life when I started taking my mood stabilizer for bipolar disorder. I resisted for so long, too.

I am so glad you found something that works for you and that you remained sober!!
