Double Recovery sounds like a great idea to pursue. I hope you can find something that works for you. (BTW, I so wish Ottawa had half the types of meetings larger cities seem to have!)

Unsolicited advice of the sort you're getting can be very detrimental for some, but decent for others. But you know yourself, they don't. Not even your sponsor (btw, I hope you find a sponsor you work better with!). I stopped going to AA b/c I didn't think that alcoholism is my primary problem. I went back to a mtg for a project, and they all still think I'm an alcoholic who's in denial (and I've not drank in over two years!)

"Take what you like and leave the rest" seems to be an appropriate AA slogan here, but it's hard to do when you're getting other opinions crammed down your throat. I'm glad you're doing something that works for you, and not giving up on recovery and not stopping your meds just 'cause someone told you to do so.

Love ya, no matter what.
