"take what you want and leave the rest".......remember that in your meetings? Remember these are just humans talking to you with their flaws as well. Of course they should not be giving advice either!!!. That is also talked about in meetings. I am a real advocate of the 12 step program My son just finished rehab and my daughter is in rehab although not a 12 step program. I go to Al-anon. I think a 12 step program has advice and tools for anyone.
You have to do what is best for you. Sometimes we don't even know what is best. I agree with trying another meeting or two. They are all different and some people are not as good for us as others might be. ..and some meetings are better then others....you know like church or whatever....we have to find one that fits us!!!!!!
What they say is not law and your sponser dosn't have to always be right. After all they are just people and an alcoholic..same as you..nothing more nothing less
A lot of the old timers in meeting don't believe in meds. I would also find a meeting thats a dual dx meeting. There are some around. They deal with mental illness and alcoholism. My son finished that at a place called Crossroads in Virginia. There might even be that program where you live. It works with people with psychatric disorders and addictions. It right up your alley!!!!
Let me know if you find a good meeting like that!!!
Hugs!!
