The way to overcome an addiction is tried and proven—abstain from the object of addiction
Not to get off the subject, but I have said for years that is why food addictions are so hard b/c you have to eat in order to stay alive.......and I can't think of other addictions where that is the case. But using this as an example, the WAW working with the object of her EA is like a person on a diet who is constantly facing food. You think that one little taste wouldn't hurt.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
