Whoa, slow down. You haven't even seen your doctor and you are freaking out about rehab. One step at a time here, okay? See your doctor, quit drinking under his/her supervision, then do what ever it takes to stay quit.

If it takes detox/rehab, don't dismiss it. You say it will shame your husband, effect your kids? There are a lot worse things than seeking help with an addiction. There is progressing to a hopeless alcoholic wife and mother.

So please, embrace recovery. It is soooo much better than the alternative.
