Go to an AA meeting, (preferable a "Beginner's Meeting"), but lacking that, get to a meeting as soon as possible. Call the area AA hotline if necessary. If you don't know how to get to a meeting, ask. I went to my 1st AA meeting willingly because I couldn't go on. I too was a "functioning alcoholic" with a good job. I'm not perfect, and I sure as heck wasn't familiar with 12-Step Programs, but I stopped drinking. That's the objective...I also found a wonderful group of people who became my friends, and role models. I am not a religious person but I do believe in a "Higher Power", so I had no quarrel with that concept. Good luck. At 1st, just don't think, don't drink, and go to meetings. If you're drinking daily, detox and re-hab may be a better 1st choice because sudden withdraw from alcohol could be fatal.
