Love you guys already
I think trying AA again is great - don't get hung up on the lingo - just go to be with like people who understand what you're going through.
When I went, I found people there to be more supportive of those who continue to try, whether it was 6 or 20 times in a year. Whatever it takes.
The only failure is in giving up. Continue trying, it's a sign of strength in doing whatever it takes to live in recovery.
People will understand and want to help you. Please let us know how it goes. Sending good thoughts your way. It'll be ok.
