Slow down and catch your breath. You've told your family and that's a significant step forward. They likely knew you had a drinking problem, so admitting it to them was a good thing. But why the rush to tell your bosses? Recovery doesn't mean you have to tell the world you're an alchoholic. I've never told anyone at work about my alcoholism, even though I do see several people from the company at AA meetings. We keep AA in AA and never discuss it at work. You've told those that should to be told, now slow down and concentrate on yourself. Go to meetings, pick a sponsor and work on your recovery. Your bosses don't need to know about your alcoholism.
