"Unless to do so would cause harm."
That is the second part of step 9; the part many forget.
If you tell your husband, just to releive your guilt, then you are not doing it for him, but for you. Therefore, you are hurting him. What could it possibly do except cause him more pain? I am certain he has suffered enough pain with your alcoholism, right?
Reveive your guilt by telling your Rabbi, Priest, Minister or therapist. That is the soul cleansing you need. Vow to never again do something like this - whether you relapse or not! Make amends by being the loving, considerate wife that he deserves. And always remember, how close you came to blowing it!
Shalom!
