Hi and welcome.
Losing control on the weekends is how most people start having problems with their drinking. At least that's what happened to me. After a while you start drinking one, and then two nights in the week and in the end every day. I'm not saying that's nessesarily going to happen to you, but that's a very common route.
You could try to stop for thirty days and see how that goes. If you have trouble doing that, or if you have already tried and failed, then you probably need some help. If you are already suffering because of your drinking, you have to ask yourself why you keep doing it.
You can get a lot of support and advice on this forum and there are many people here who got sober with the help of AA. You don't have to chose between AA and your doctor, I'm sure both can help you and give you a better idea of how to deal with your drinking problem.
Best wishes,
Mandarina
