The potential danger in not being open about your quitting is there is no accountability to keep you from returning to drinking. What I refer to as, "keeping the back door open to drinking."
You family and friends didn't know you drank, don't know you quit, and if you return to drinking, no one is the wiser.
Except you, of course. You have you're own integrity to keep you accountable. Just make sure the "reason" that you are keeping your recovery a secret isn't the option to return to drinking in secret.
