I hope you find a program that you are willing to put as much effort into that you're putting into justifying your drinking. Science has proven alcoholics process alcohol differently than non-alcoholics. That doesn't matter when it comes to a recovery program. I personally think any well thought out plan to eliminate one's self-pity, entitlement issues, guilt, and/or shame will work if the person is willing to go to any lengths. Once you are convinced you're an alcoholic then recovery is possible. Whatever program you chose to attend, put the same amount of effort you put into your drinking and you'll be successful.
Many prayers sweetichick.
