No, Bellame, I don't believe you are screwing up your sobriety. But as mentioned by others, honesty with yourself is critical. As someone who has been sober for 14 years, is active in AA, and has numerous sponsees, I feel I can put in my 2 cents. Although some hardliners may disagree, there is nothing that I've seen in AA literature that directs you to ignore medical advice. The goal of AA is to have a happier life, not to become dysfuctional because you deny yourself needed medication. Could you imagine having major surgery without anesthesia? Again, honesty and intention are paramount.
Good luck!
Ray
P.S. Some prayer wouldn't hurt either.
