Hi Bliss and welcome to SR.
Binge drinker here also. There comes a point where you can't hide it from those who are close to you, our habits change the stronger this beast gets.
I was up front and got to the point that I didn't care who knew, I needed help.....a couple people were shocked, went into denial...today they understand.
Another thing, people are more aware of this disease, we're not bad people, just sick.
Wishing you all the best in your journey to recovery, huge congrats on your sober days, AWESOME. You'll do what you need to do when you're ready, also I'm betting you'll get support from your friend, that's what friends do.
