NightNDay,
Over the years, I've seen probably upwards of a couple thousand people fail to stay sober long term with the plan you describe.

Now, I have seen many, many stay sober with exactly that plan. Good for them. Like myself though, you seem to need something more. At those meetings, you will hear over and over and over, 'rarely have we seen a person fail that has thoroughly followed our path.' The path referred to in those meetings (I'm assuming you're talking about AA) is the suggested program of the 12 Steps.
