Welcome!
This forum is full of great people who share their experiences and offer support for those who want to help themselves.
AA is not for everybody - it's your life and your choice to explore recovery programs that work for you. There's alot of information on alternative recovery methods throughout the forums here on SR.
Personally, I got sober with the help of a counselor who has been in recovery for a long time himself, along with having professional training in alcoholism treatment.
I don't know if you're an alcoholic. You'll see that how much or how often one drinks doesn't necessarily define someone as one - it's more about the negative consequences that alcohol has on our lives yet we still continue to drink.
The great thing about SR is that many of us here could've written your post and it's important to have support from people who understand where you're at. Look forward to hearing more from you!
