No one but my partner knows
Don't count on it. When I sobered up and started AA, I shared with a few close friends, business associates, and family (mostly 2000 miles away), they ALL knew, and were very supportive.

Unless your friends, family and husband are real A-holes, they will be very supportive too.

AA has been good to me, but there are other ways. See the secular forum for a nice thread on this. I doubt that any of these programs will violate your anonymity. (None of them are supposed to at least). I don't know anybody in AA where this has been a problem.

And as maintainin said, any health care professional who violates this is in big trouble. In legal circles, Health provider/client priviledge is just as sacrosanct as attorney/client priviledge. You have even less to worry about here. Let your husband know this if it will help.

Good luck and post often to let us know how you are doing.
