I say it's worth giving everything a try with an open mind, and stick with whatever works. And if it stops working, try something else ASAP ;) I used this site and other Internet forums, I also went to face-to-face meetings and sometimes a Skype meeting. I credit the AA programme with helping me stay stopped. People were supportive and the meetings helped me get honest about my drinking and take the problem seriously. Without them I'm pretty sure I'd eventually succumb to the thought "was the drinking really all that bad...?" and start over again.
