Doctor ? Meds ?
Permalink  
 


Sometimes this gets to be a big issue at meetings. This Quote was mailed to me thought I'd post it.


"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."

~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, The Family Afterward, pg. 133~

Hi Rick. I agree with the post. It was the librium and vitamin saturation IV that got me through the first week in a detox.


If in doubt seek medical advise!


Hope uou have a great day.


Bye for now


Chris.

i go with chris.....docs adn meds are OK, if  needs it....


i am on anti anxiety meds  (used as needed)  and in conjunction with my recovery program, iam WAY better than i used to be...


true, i don't want to suppress any feelings w/ my meds and i don't....there is a need for balance....i take them just to quiet an anxiety attack....however i still investigate the trigger/ feeling that caused it...........so for me??? it works...i cannot function with full blown anxiety attacks,  so i quiet them,  AND work on the  fear trigger or feeling that is trying to come up...........hope this made sense, rosie

yep, rosie,, makes a lot of sense,, I agree with you. That's a lot of why you're making such great progress, eh?  combination of you working hard, and knowing your limitations and where you need your Higher Power, and where you need a doctor and meds. thanks for sharing your e,s & h.


love in recovery,


amanda
