hi again uk, a thought...i was dual dx'ed 20 years ago. my T said in order for me to succeed in both and get better i had to take care of both equally. many ppl in AA have dual dx's. your focus on your other dx, MI, rather than accepting both dx's could minimize your alcoholism.
glad you are going to give it a go  and share how you are feeling and struggling with.  keep us posted. you can do this and your life will change for the better. mine did!!!! i hope that gives you "hope" too.
