My meeting place says I have to start over due to taking prescribed medicines post-surgery.
17 years clean. I have taken prescribed medicine as directed (and had support systems in place to make sure I don’t relapse). I had to start going to a new meeting place because of my work schedule, and this past week I had surgery. Part of the recovery includes pain meds. The person that runs our group told me that I could no longer say I was “17 years clean” and had to start over because I was using the pain meds as prescribed - they’re a complete abstinence group (I didn’t really notice this because it never came up before).
Just curious to everyone else’s thoughts. I’m considering finding a new meeting over this.
