My dad was an alcoholic. I remember him going in and out of “the hospital” to dry out when I was going up. This went on for years. Then, my dad went to a church where he felt God was really real. (He went to a Catholic church, but traditional & dead church) He committed his life to Christ. He never drank again. It was amazing because I did not know what or who my dad was without alcohol. He has been sober for 30+ years. He became the dad I always wanted. He volunteered helping men kick the habit. He went to AA meeting and it never worked. Only God worked for him.

You lack an understanding of AA. The whole point of the program and the book is to help one find a power greater than themselves.... a spiritual awakening if you will,,,, that will get and keep them sober. Perhaps your father was not ready to do the things asked of him before he joined the church. All of us who get sober find God in order to get and stay sober and live happy and meaningful lives

“He went to a Catholic church, but traditional & dead church”

What does “traditional & dead church” mean?

Were you looking for one less “traditional” than than the one Christ began?

Or, perhaps more “modern and entertaining”?
