Exercise would be good for you, and not drinking will also help with the weight loss. I believe Trimpey put that in there more as a guideline to caution people against uprooting their entire existence for the sake of recovery. I think he didn't want people believing the "
you need to change everything in your life or you will definitely drink again !!!" doomsday prophecies.
