Rama,

I came here to do the same thing you are trying to do. I kept all of my strruggles private. In my job, if you have a problem you will be forced out. Even the suspicion of a problem will get you forced out. So privacy was my utmost concern.

I was not real succesful initially. Eventually, I had to let me wife know.(in the end she actually knew as its hard to cover up missing events). However once I admitted to her my problem, things began to change. That's as public as it ever will be...for now.

I looked at all manner of tools to help me. Rational Recovery (AVRT), SMART, HARM, AA. Check out all of them and see if you can't find some tools that can help you. Obviously keep coming here as it will help immensely in navigating the early sobriety period.

Welcome to SR!
