Look at different treatment options should you go that route. I have spent a lot of my life around people with drinking problems and each persons problem is different as is the degree of seriousness.
AA is usually the first stop for everyone who is need of help but in my opinion far from the best. But that is a subjective assessment given my knowledge of alcoholism and how it affects everyone differently and for different reasons.
Try an appointment(s) with a trained professional (addiction councelor, behavioural psychologist etc) first to see if you can pin point why you do what you do. Knowing the root of your drinking habits will be the first step in deciding if you have a drinking problem and the severity of it.
If you do go to AA to check it out, go with an open mind. You may be told that since you are there, that in fact you have a drinking problem. Only you know that for sure. Attending is not an admission.
But like I said, with the experiences I have had, try and find out first what and if you have some problems causing you to drink. Spend the money one on one with a professional.
Trust me, you owe it to yourself.
