I think the telling people thing is a seperate issue.
It's not like telling everyone will keep you sober if you don't want to be.

What keeps you coming back to drinking Justin? and what are
you going to do about it?
I'm not asking in a provocative way - you really need to think about this
There's some help here on working out a recovery plan:
