Why not try out church, or medications from your Doctor? There are herbal remedies and therapists and mental health professionals to check out. Get some self-help books and try out their suggestions. There are hypnotists to go to and sobriety coaches.
There are so many alternative routes to take, you may never even get around to doing all the AA stuff, so I wouldn't worry about that at all. If you have to eventually do that later on AA will still be there.
Don't force yourself to do what you don't care to do just because others find that it solves their problem. You need to chart your own course and gain possibly useful experience along the way.
