Well yes, but I can see why they do that. As Bobby said, alcoholics tend to
be obsessive and so AA takes place of alcohol as an obsession. I can see
that. It enables an alcoholic to give up drinking but something has to take
the place of drinking as a focal point, and AA provides it.
Just like your cult took the place of alcohol. You may not still be a
member but I'd bet your chanting is a form of a placeholder in your life for
focus instead of alcohol. Which isn't bad at all.
