Hi, Andrea - Today is my one year anniversary and you know who I've told this whole time? My husband, my best friend and a co-worker (I only shared the info with her today - I suspect she has a drinking problem, too). That's it. My mother doesn't even know. It's completely and totally up to you regarding who you want to tell. You owe NO ONE an explanation. Of course, that was my approach so, naturally, I think it should be everyone else's approach, too! ;-)
