Just start asking questions, Google questions.
Seems like the internet and SR are putting a damper on rehab clinics.
You can learn so much here.
If you stopped for 9 months 2 times...you can do it.
The best advice lately here for me was "surrender to sobriety. " That is much easier than "fighting alcoholism. "

We all have our stories, they're all different, yat all the same.
The best start is to put "one foot in front of the other" DON'T DRINK, and do both of these One Day At A TIme(ODAT).
Make a Sobriety Plan, you canread the "how to" of that on the forums, follow your plan of sobriety, be true to yourself, and things will get better.
As we like to say "If I can do it, anyone can" ! YOu Can Too!

I'm going to do everything on my own . I always been like this , fighting my battles on my own , I just hate to involve other people in my problems . Rehab is absolutely not an option for me , I have kids and I'm a full time career for my autistic son . Also I would be too scared to ask for help anywhere as I would be scared it would affect our life too much , and god forbid if social services would get involved. Absolutely can't risk that . I know I can do it , I just needed a wake up call and to talk to someone who would know what I'm going through

Like many, this place has been my foundation for staying sober. I'm fairly new to complete sobriety but have been here for a little while. Like you, it was a secret and I was scared to death to share my problem. When I realized how supportive people here are, I opened up and it has really helped. Wish you the very best.
