good point, split image!!! yes there are some under-informed, is that a word?- ppl in AA as well as the general public regarding MI. i feel your position makes good sense. AA is about not drinking and offers help to improve ourselves with life in general. BUT it is not defined as a "be all to end all." there's a saying in AA, "AA is about your drinking problem and not about your life problems." the "big book" states that for those other problems, we should "seek outside professionals",to paraphrase. those sayings sum it up well. it would ridiculous for you to not treat other things going on with you. like if you had a drinking problem and cancer, god forbid, it would make no sense at all to conclude that AA could fix your cancer!
i'm not necessarily suggesting you bring that part of the big book up to her but then again her approach is rigid and if the "big book" states "seek outside help", then her opinion is invalid. there are many ppl with additional dx's in AA. the attitude of ignoring treatment outside of AA is wrong. plain and simple wrong.
possibly she is encouraging you to focus on staying sober and emphasizing that, but if we don't treat our other dx's we will surely drink, imho. i know for me i had to "fix" all or it would lead me to a drink.
so good for you and ignore her ignorance. even in AA we have ppl we respect that forget that paragraph in the "big book".
