I understand that feeling, I hid my attempts at recovery from my friends and my wife for a long time. My wife would occasionally notice I wasn't drinking as much. Mostly out of fear of failure and having to face those people when/if I didn't succeed. After awhile I embraced it, and now if I give them a 12pack with only 8 left in it, they're supportive, and remind me of my goals. This only works for not judgemental friends though... actually, i don't think I have any judgemental friends anymore... weird
Either way you need to get rid of it, and in such a way that you can't get back to it. I don't like dumping it out because of the feeling of wasting it, and the temptation to drink a bit of it after I open it... I don't like throwing it away because I can retrieve it.
