bmoz - therapy is the best thing that ever happened to me. and many people I know who are in AA are also in therapy.

not sure what you meant about prescribed meds....but AA ain't what it used to be:

"The study assessed the attitudes of 125 AA contact persons about the participation of persons with mental illness. The majority had positive attitudes toward such persons, and 93 percent indicated that they should continue taking their medication."

I'm glad you decided to stay. I like hearing about other programs. I have a friend who attends SOS and loves it.
