Need some advice/support
I have about 8 drinks per night. I hide it from my wife. I hate the feeling of secrecy and shame, and I hate not being productive because I am in an alcoholic haze all night. At the same time, I am scared of quitting because of withdrawals. I don't know what to do. I can't tell my wife and go into an inpatient detox, she would leave me if she knew I was hiding this.
