Hi Trudging:
Not sure what "WPS" means. Anyway, if as you say it "works" for you then that's what counts. What worked for me was contact with other persons in recovery. I spent a very long time just doing "counseling" and kidding myself that I could drink in moderation- just a glass of wine or so at some social occasion. That seemed to work for a while, a month, maybe a few months but always it got me going eventually down the long slippery slope and as time went on the slope got steeper and more slippery so it didn't take long until I was in deep trouble again. I was a slow learner. As I said, what finally seemed to do the trick for me was contact with other persons in recovery. In that way I was able to cope with my denial and get some fine ideas about ways to make it work. I had some issues with AA but benefitted greatly with the good stuff. Good luck.
