I don't think there's universal advice either way SummerBlueSky.
I told everyone but now looking back I don't think I'd do that now - I was scared I'd drink again and I wanted everyone to 'help'...
I see that as a very alcoholic way of thinking now...I worried a lot of people unnecessarily and I regret that.
Having said that, had I been in a relationship at the time I think my loved one would deserve to know, if they didn't know already.
