I would suggest doing volunteer work in your community. You may not be an alcoholic, but you are bored. Find something that makes you feel like you are useful.

You are a grown woman. You need to be responsible for your own happiness.I am going to assume that your husband is the one who pressured you to quit your job. If that is indeed the case then it's time to take control of your own life and do what makes you happy even if it doesn't please him.
Drinking is not the root of your problem, it is only a branch. I say this out of empathy and experience. Did you have an alcohol problem when you were an executive?? I bet not.
It might be hard but you have to tell your husband what you need to do for you to be happy. If he doesn't support that then maybe he doesn't love you as much as you think. Do something before you wake up a lonely old woman with liver cancer and gin blossoms!
Good luck!

You won't stop until you want to but hiding is definitely a sign you are at risk for deep depression and risky behavior. Try finding another thing to occupy your time like be a volunteer reader at the library or an art docent at the museum. If you are bored get out ther and do something to change it.

You will probably have to go to AA eventually.
In the meantime, I say pray very often for the Lord to help you to quit. He may do it by knocking you on your a$$, but he will come through, if you ask him and trust him.
Just be ready to go to AA when the time comes. You will likely need it. (I hate it, too, but like they say about the program, "it works if you work it".
Here is a link to the Big Book online version. (This is the book by the founder of AA.)

If you are so functional... why are you hiding it? More importantly, if you don't see any reason to stop why look for answers on yahoo? Don't worry, when the pain gets great enough....you will.

you are going to get to the point that the alcohol is not going to do it for you anymore. you will end up drinking more. the next thing probably you end up sick like stomach, irregular bowel movements, etc.
you will eventually come to grips with it. i wish you well.

You can have an affair with me. I'm 22 and I need a older married woman.

Well, maybe you could get a job or start playing an instrument. You need to busy yourself. Maybe see a doctor about your problem.

Well, if you don't see a reason to stop, the chances are you won't.
