Most closed meetings I've been to, anyone not willing to identify themselves as an alcoholic during introductions is then reminded it is a closed and what that means. If they still are unwilling to identify with the membership requirements they are generally pulled aside and asked to leave, by other members of the group so the chairperson can concentrate on moving the meeting along. I don't, but I'm told many are members of AA AND AlAnon. Makes a lot of sense to me. Well, the meeting went on, maybe that's the important thing. Easy, but not too productive, to get wrapped around the axle.
