Are meetings for me?

I think I can admit I have a drinking problem. Once I start I can never start and most of the time I do drink I end up waking regretting most of what happened the night before either by own recollection or what others tell me (though black outs are more frequent in recent years). I have lost a fiance, a couple girlfriends, and a couple friends over things I have done drunk. But the other half of the time a lot of my friends think I am the life of the party and love to go out with me.
That being said, I almost always place enough fail safes in place, be it by alarms or co-workers to make sure the night before doesn't affect my ability to get to work and work with quality.
Does this mean I just generally immature at my age (mid 20's) rather than the idea that I have a problem? Would going to this meeting make me seem like I am exaggerating or that there really isn't a problem related to an addiction?
