did I not read in one of the 12 traditions today at a meeting, that AA does
not involve itself in outside issues. If this is so, how can it have any
opinion on prescribed medication?

Rosie, you are undoubtedly an incorrigible liar! In this respect I post
"professional" evidence to the contrary of your biased advice. Bet you
cannot furnish even one post where I have advised anyone not to take
antidepressants.

You probably have not even noticed it is you that constantly advises here,
repeatedly confirming the maxim that advice is given most often by those
least competent to do so.

their opinion??

Did you know that you contradict the big book with this statement?
That wonderful book that apparently needs no quoting .... just the
foreword to the first edition says "we .... have recovered". The book
is full of "recover" and "recovered", I find just 1 mention of the
word "recovering", which is in the context of direct advice given to
the spouse of a newly-recovering alcoholic.
