AA is not the only answer to alcoholism, even if they are an alcoholic. AA does not have a monopoly on recovery. The Big Book even states that. Statistics bear this out too, that the majority of people get sober without AA. Full disclosure: I personally attend AA. But the dogma and group think like you are demonstrating are an issue many people have cited.

If you think there is any chance that you are in fact an alcoholic I'd put off that decision to end your participation... at least till that question is resolved.
