I sometimes think opposing experiences are useful to the newcomer.

My experience with doing exactly that led me to not drinking for a couple of months, followed by a still worse relapse, followed by IOP, followed by rehab, followed by AA with no step work, followed by finally surrendering to the simple program of recovery, followed by being recovered.

My experience tells me that the in-between steps are best left out if one wants to avoid the wreckage of failed attempts.
