Smile Functional alcoholic

Hello all!

This is my first post. I feel that I am a functional alcoholic. I started off binge drinking from the age of 12. I am now 37. I don't binge drink to the extent that I used to so to speak. I used to drink once a week until I blacked out on the weekends. Now my addiction has changed to drinking at home or when out twice a week but only to the point where I feel comfortable.I drink about 6 beers or one bottle of wine at each occasion. About once a year I fall and drink more than that. My question is: Can this be sustained? Or Should I just go to an AA meeting instead of prolonging the inevitable? (you should know that I live in the country area of a foreign country that does not speak English although I do speak their language to a degree)

Thanks in Advance
