I'm putting off telling my family too. My boyfriend knows, but I've never told my family about my drinking problem(although I'm sure they've figured it out by now-it's no mystery). Telling them I'm off the booze would add way too much pressure right now. Not sure when I will be ready to tell them but probably not until I've got at least another couple of weeks under my belt. They are extremely healthy people and I just couldn't handle the stress of keeping it together in front of them. No way.
