How do I stop drinking.

I grew up and live in shithole Wisconsin. Everyone either drinks themselves to death or is religious. I'm not religious and I don't think I will ever be. All the AA stuff around here requires you to be religious.

Im 26. I thought if I could manage my drinking so I didn't do any stupid shit while drunk I'd be fine. I got that all figured out. I hold a very nice job and outwardly everything is going very good for me besides being an alcoholic. I am functioning just fine. But the booze still takes it's toll. I feel like my drinking away my youth and slowly killing myself. I am a slave to the stuff. Ive downed a 5th every night for the last 3 years.

Do I have to move away? How do I stop.
