You refer to yourself as "an acute alcoholic" who only blacks out 2 or 3 times a year. There are plenty of people who drank like you and who are now in AA. You apparently just happened to attend a meeting where none of them spoke. If you attend more meetings you will hear the stories of plenty of people you can relate to.
Of course if you have already decided (based on 1 meeting) that AA can't help you, there's really no point. There is a secular section on this site that might be more to your liking.
