While most replies expressed panic over potential relapse or lashed out at the original poster for bringing it up at all, one comment in particular made us stop scrolling and start thinking.

Self-help books don't work because they hinge on the premise that the person who you should go for help to, meaning yourself, is a person that buys self-help books. A type of person, which you should never ask help to.
