Hun, this ain't the scientology world. At least I don't think it is when I look at it from my Fourth Dimension.<BR/><BR/>I love AA. It works if I work it.....and how I work it may not be how you do. I learn so much from folks....how to BE, and how NOT to be.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck with the doctor opera....may all be well with you!Josephinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07248310531118120176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839651309355342328.post-4561286998670704042009-03-19T15:18:00.000-05:002009-03-19T15:18:00.000-05:00I love this post....I need this post.

They strongly espouse the same thing about 'script meds and clean time, etc. Just can't really seem to understand that a Higher Power can be a medical doctor or a psychiatrist.

(That might be a little strong....)<BR/><BR/>I agree with you based on personal experience and the experiences I have had working with people with mental health illness. They are sober and leading productive, happy, functional lives because they are dealing with their mental illness and their sobriety.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Zane for your post.<BR/>PGOne Prayer Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455437909918314217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839651309355342328.post-30521569230244513772009-03-18T17:33:00.000-05:002009-03-18T17:33:00.000-05:00Exactly Scott.

Just more proof that the 164 don't take a stand against prescription drugs.Zanejabbershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08951592520808646104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839651309355342328.post-81260602706310392502009-03-18T17:23:00.000-05:002009-03-18T17:23:00.000-05:00God has abundantly supplied this world with fine d...God has abundantly supplied this world with fine doctors, psychologists, and practitioners of various kinds. Do not hesitate to take your health problems to such persons. Most of them give freely of themselves, that their fellows may enjoy sound minds and bodies. Try to remember that though God has wrought miracles among us, we should never belittle a good doctor or psychiatrist. Their services are often indispensable in treating a newcomer and in following his case afterward. ~Big Book, p. 133.Scott Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361224878660334532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839651309355342328.post-37147651453798377222009-03-18T07:04:00.000-05:002009-03-18T07:04:00.000-05:00I love you more and more every post I read Zane. ...I love you more and more every post I read Zane. If not for my anti-depressant I would have jumped off the frickin bridge by now-alcohol or not. Just as alcoholism is a disease, so is depression. For my alcoholism-I have AA, depression-meds.

But I don't know anyone opposed to meds.<BR/>Can you imagine my little Ms.Soberpants with out anxiety meds?

I also know of many people who abuse them and "hide" their abuse behind the fact that they are prescribed. That's what I meant.I worked with MICA ( mentally ill, chemically addicted) patients every day. I should be more careful how I word my blog in the future.
