Law enforcement and alcohol

New to this forum. Found it while searching for help. Law enforcement tends to force one to hide your demons. I'm a heavy drinker. I can't go to AA, some of my "clients" are in there by court order. I can't turn to support through work (there is no anonymity there). It forces one to suffer in silence. I drank last night. I drank to much. It was my last day of vacation. I go to work tomorrow. I want to be sober tonight. I know I want to be sober tomorrow. But today is "now". I have to worry about tomorrow when it comes. The stress of family, children and work can feel daunting. This whole thing just feels very lonely. My wife drinks, but very little. I just don't know where to turn.
