Proper nutrition isn't going to do anything to reduce cravings or help you stay sober. Proper nutrition will help you stay healthy provided that you don't drink. Abstinence from alcohol and an effective recovery program will help you stay sober. One danger alcohol consumption poses to nutrition is that alcohol prevents the body from absorbing Thiamin (Vitamin B-1), and this can lead to Wernikie-Karsakoff Syndrome, or wet brain. Unfortunately, this is an irreversable condition resulting in spending the rest of your life in a mental institution.
