Fun fact. The founder of AA began the program with a focus on proper nutrition as a replacement for alcoholism, believing it to be a result of deficiencies. Then it was taken over, the nutritional education thrown out, and replaced with mantras about hope, and the addition of free donuts and coffee.

Imagine if AA was a nutrition and fitness club and courts mandated alcoholics to attend for 6 months.

I disagree, having read the book. It was labeled a “spiritual malady” by the founders.
