Telling my kids I'm an alcoholic (recoverying)

My daughter is 8 and last weekend I told her I am an acoholic. She asked why I had so many AA books. Now after telling her, I'm afraid I did the wrong thing that maybe she is too young and that maybe if she tells her friends they might treat her poorly or that her friends' parents might treat her differently.

What age is a good age to tell kids? What if they tell their friends and the friends make fun of them (because these kids don't understand)? etc...
