Hmmmm, yeah funnily enough - I had a mother like that too, without the religious side but definately the expecting perfection from me when apparently the same rules didn't apply to her.
Only question I would ask is does your church use red wine or blackcrrent juice for communion? I attend a Baptist church, and we use blackcurrent juice for communion so I always take it. If I attend a service where red wine is offered, I will take the bread but refuse the wine. This is because I feel that as an alcoholic, there is no way I would insult my saviour by drinking alcohol even in a small amount in the Lords house. I can't repent my sin, and then throw back a poison that I know Christ wants to heal me from. To me, its symbolic and done in rememberence of the blood shed so I can remember without the wine. Know what I mean? So anyway, yeah - thats just my take on it anyway. I know that my church uses blackcurrent juice because its symbolic anyway and its done for the likes of me in the congregation.
