I was recently diagnosed with ADHD, ASD, Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, and Generalized anxiety.
My Dr. recommends seeing a therapist 1x a week and medication to manage symptoms of life long mental illnesses that have plagued me since early childhood.
I am now looking for another sponsor in AA because me being on medication is a 'blockage' to being a channel for my higher power (yea....sure).
I'm starting to feel like I don't have a home in AA. I know that for me to stay sober I have to treat my mental illnesses and that if I'm not sober I can't do that.
I just don't get it..... where's the patience, tolerance, understanding and dedicated 12th step work that we all hear so much about? I've been through my 12 steps twice now and each time I feel lighter and closer to God as I understand it.
I honestly can't tell anymore if I'm just outgrowing people with steady progress or if I'm spiraling out because I've sought outside help for outside issues.
Any experience, strength, and hope would be welcome here.
