Confessions of an English Opium-Eater was first published in 1821. It is indeed a very common and long-established template.

We're getting drastically off-topic here, but that title ALSO lacks the word "Recovering" in the title, so it's not the template I was referring to!

Confessions of an English Opium Eater/of St. Augustine are examples of a broader template, but not examples of the template from which this title was _clearly_ derived. And are therefore, pretty much guaranteed not to be the actual, direct inspiration for the title!

Of course, if anyone really cares, I suspect they could just email the author. :)
