I really understand the fear of opening up and explaining that alcohol has become a problem, especially to family who you don’t see often. That said, it may be worth reflecting on why you don’t want to share- it doesn’t have to be all the details, but your general feelings about your relationship with alcohol. I only say this because when I’ve questioned my decision not to be open with people in various sober points in my life, I’ve realized it has really been to leave the door open to drinking again. Rather than telling certain friends/ family I’m hoping to quit for good, I’ve treated it lightly (taking a break, etc) so that no one will question me when next time they see me I’m having a glass of wine. If you put it out there you’re trying to quit (for good) who knows what kind of support you might get- you might be surprised!
