I'm assuming she's not an alcoholic? It's just as hard for a non-addict to understand what an addict is thinking as it is for an addict to admit that they are addicted and quit. And frankly, the meetings are strange and unnecessary for those who aren't addicts - she's just reacting so something she doesn't understand, and probably never will 100%. Our minds work differently, so different measures are needed. It will take time, just like anything. Rather than trying to explain all the gory details, just try and explain that sobriety is a high priority for you, and that the meetings help you attain that goal. It will make for a better life for everyone involved.
