AA pushes honesty. I've found when I am honest, even if vague, I don't generate crap like I used to. Now you have crap in your head because you embellished the truth and are afraid you will have to embellish it some more in the future. A never ending cycle. Why don't you consider not talking about your "church group" rather than keep talking. That or come clean altogether if you must discuss your personal time. No point in digging the hole any deeper.
