It may have its uses although not for anyone who’s reached a level where they have to visit the SR site.

I can remember, less than twenty years ago, I drank alcohol but not every day, and I often went away or did an activity that meant a week or two without alcohol. I was clearly not alcohol dependent at that time. I had a lonely spell abroad in 2002/3 and drank every single day. That was so obviously where I crossed the line into alcohol dependency. If at that point, someone had stepped in and told me what lay ahead and that if I cut back, I’d be OK, that would’ve helped my life tremendously. I’d have been a genuine moderate drinker. But from 2003 onwards, I was dependent and no amount of coaching or schemes would’ve helped me.
