I think you should work on Step 1 before trying Step 4. It doesn't seem like you've accepted the fact that you are powerless against alcohol ("This is probably why I am ambiguous about stopping, because I still want to drink, but I don't want to be an alcoholic"), and you definitely don't feel that your life has become unmanageable ("I'm fully functioning, and I don't miss work, and I haven't hit a bottom so to speak").
Without that first step, nothing else matters. I'm new to this myself, but that seems to me like attempting to assemble a house and stand it up on sand, with no foundation in place.
