At the risk of sounding glib...

...don't worry, his "doing it all by himself" rehab plan is likely to teach him a few things as well (though he may not learn and 1 in a million actually make it stick).

You've got it right when you say, "I know I need to release my fears and expectations, too. He's going to do what he's going to do and that just may not jive with what I want, but I have to accept that it's how he's choosing recovery." And that, my dear, is a win!

P.s. 78.2 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.
