Hi Cas.
It does seem to me that DIY is becoming very commonplace. I think one of the reasons for that is increasing internet usage. After all, I can google any recovery method I chose and cherry-pick whatever I want in a very short amount of time.
I'm not knowledgeable about recovery from substance abuse, however the DIY method of recovery from alcohol seems appropriate for me. I was a DIY drinker mostly; I rarely went to bars and usually drank alone.
Keep well
Ron
