Good luck with everything. My dad is an alcoholic and I have a friend who lost his dad about a year ago due to alcohol (it ruined his liver). Its a hard thing to deal with and I applaud you for being able to put your problem out there. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that if some AA meetings in your area are at churches, then the church is just the host and is not really all that involved with the meetings. The church I grew up in (but don't so much attend anymore) hosts meetings for a Parkinson's support group, but the church doesn't have anything to do with the meetings. Rambling...sorry, I'm super tired...but if the only meetings close are at churches, give them a try anyway. It can't hurt, right?
