In fact very often in literature its mentioned that we are not doctors and you should trust in your doctors for your healthcare, mental and physical and work on the not drinking with people from AA. I'm guessing the same would apply for al-anon. Its so discriminatory to people. I have no issue going up to whoever after a meeting and letting them know how I feel about it. F**K THEM.

And this is exactly why I don't go to AA anymore. It is supposed to be the only requirement is the desire to stop drinking.
