Not to be preachy, but I'd second this. I don't really attend anymore, but for a while, my local church was a safe haven from the stresses of both my professional and personal life.

That said, over time I found it impossible to reconcile my church's teachings with my own values, and haven't found another that I'd be more comfortable with. But I would never deny that they were a crucial part of me rebuilding my life when I was on the ropes.

For anyone who isn't particularly religious, if you live in a fairly big city, you can probably find some faith group that aligns with your values, whatever they may be. In smaller towns and communities, you kinda get what you get.
