Alyce, there are many people using different recovery methods here. I have used SR for many years, along with lots of good books. Choose any way you like to get sober, as long as it works for you.
What I find scary is that you think you can control your drinking. If you're an alcoholic you cannot control your drinking. It just won't work. Most of us here have tried to do that, me included. It would work for a bit and then I'd get worse. And, all the while, I'd be obsessing about alcohol.
