New here - how to succeed?

Hi-

I've come to this site and read the through the forums a number of times. I've been a drinker since I was 14 and I'm now 34, I don't necessarily drink everyday or get drunk everytime I drink, but if I get to a certain point I won't stop. I hate it, I would really like to quit for good. Nothing good ever has come from it.
I have a wife and 2 young children and another on the way, I don't want my kids to grow up seeing their father drink. I've found a couple AA meetings in my area, I haven't gone yet, I'm a little intimidated I guess, I feel like once I start going to meetings I'll have to give in and say I'm an alcoholic which is a bit scary. But deep down I know that's the case, I have a problem with alcohol.
