Small towns do talk I imagine others already know
about your drinking. Including your husband & children.
I would rather be thought of as an AA member
than a lush.
You could find a meeting in another town.
that is what our Sheriff does!
When you think of a better name...use
the PM box and
contact MorningGlory or Doug.
Please do see your doctor before quitting abruptly.
Withdrawing from alcohol is a medical issue
and can be dangerous. Be safe.
Take care
