Hi and Welcome,
I'm glad you found us and that you are seeking help.
Hiding alcohol and sneaking drinks is a sign that you have a problem and I'm glad that you want to stop drinking.
I have found that, since I stopped drinking, I am less comfortable in social situations. But, I really don't care. It's a small price to pay for the freedom from the addiction.
I would suggest that you stop drinking for yourself. It's very hard to do and to do it for someone else is very difficult.
