Cass,
It is a big step to start addressing a big issue like this. Pat yourself on the back.
Sounds like you are not a "typical" alcoholic. Maybe it would help to think of yourself as a person struggling with a problem with alcohol, ie, this is not your identity, but a problem you are facing.
I agree about trying different meetings, they can be very different. Also, there are probably a lot of good online sites to visit and try out.
I also agree it will be important to explore what purpose the binge drinking has had for you, and then to address those problems with other, less harmful strategies.
Take care. Glad you "came out", and believe me, I understand the anonymity within the anonymity thing.
