AA is merely one method of reaching sobriety. And even within AA there is a wide variety of meeting styles and people attending the meetings.
You don't have to fit every single stereotypical category to be an alcoholic, most people don't. I can say that drinking to the point of blacking out is a major red flag. Losing your car because of drinking is also not part of a "normal" drinkers life.
Have you ever attempted to quit?
