PC,
I don't think I could handle any sort of church right now. So often it's mostly theatre or a social club. But within a church there's usually a small group that lives more by the spirit and not the letter.
And, too, in AA there's usually a small group that has a more spiritual leaning. I like many of the principles in AA but have a hard time with the hardliners that have made AA an end in itself.
One of the best books in the AA spiritual tradition that really helped me is, "Stepping Stones To Recovery" by Bill Pittman. In fact, I hope to read it again soon - as soon as my eyes stop blurring.
Drank last night. Again, far too much. It's so hard to get through the first few days. I keep postponing the recovery.
