Sadly working out, video games, and cartoons don't have the "social lubricant" effect that alcohol does, even though they all release the same pleasure chemical into your brain. So if your drinking revolves around drinking with friends and drinking at parties because you don't want to party sober, then you should really take at least a week off.
Go to a party or two without having a single drink. If you still have fun, then you're fine, and you can either not drink or drink responsibly, and you'll have fun either way.
If you don't have fun going to a party sober, then you might have an issue with anxiety or confidence or something, or you could be becoming an alcoholic. In that case, I'd quit cold turkey for at least a month and try to find a new hobby.
If you do try to quit, and and still can't, that's the actual proof that you have an addiction. If that's the case, I'd find a group to go to, but not AA. Fuck AA.
