Lisa,
Ditto. Go on the trip, skip the pretzels, resist the alcohol and bring your own Rice Krispies! :-)
Seriously, I think talking to your doctor is a good idea. My mother saw a psychologist in the last year of her life. He did more for her in a few months than years of rehab.
However, please do not write off AA until you have tried it. It has saved millions of lives. If you go to one meeting and don't feel you fit in the group, there are dozens of others. Don't judge the program until you meet the people. My mom had several friends throughh AA and they supported each other immensely (at least while she kept in contact with them).
Best wishes,
A >
