AA Experience

I'm currently working on applying for a job working with newly sober alcoholics. My professional experience that I can put on my resume is a bit meager. But the kind of work I'd be doing is very similar to service work I've been doing in AA. I know working with people in AA is different than doing so on a professional level, but I also think that my AA experience is what makes me a good candidate for the job. Without it I'm just some random person who mostly only has work experience working with kids. So is there a way I add it in on my resume? Or maybe in the cover letter? I do have other qualifications, but I worry that they will pass me up without mention of my sobriety experience. With any other job I would think it would be unprofessional to mention, but with this one it might be wrong not to.
