Someone was trying to tell me that alcoholics anonymous is against the use of medications and therapy and actively promotes this. I went to 4 narcotics anonymous meetings and 1 AA meeting back in the day and don’t remember any of this (of course I don’t remember much from those days…). Anyway, Does anyone know?

Best answer:

Answer by raysny
AA’s official position is in the pamphlet “The AA Member–Medications and Other Drugs”:
http://www.aa.org/en_pdfs/p-11_aamembers.pdf

“The experience of some A.A. members reveals that drug misuse can
threaten the achievement and maintenance of sobriety.

Yet some A.A. members must take prescribed medication in order to
treat certain serious medical problems.”

and:
“3 No A.A. Member Plays Doctor.”
