I don't know if you are a real addict/alcoholic, that is something only you can ever determine. But you might want to attend an AA meeting just to listen to their stories. It doesn't help everyone, but they have helped me.
Also, there is huge variation in the quality of AA meetings. If you end up at a bad one, don't judge all meetings because of it. The first meetings I went to were absolute garbage.
