Everything you just described KJ is a reason to not publicize. I have had the pleasure of meeting, and hearing a few famous folks in recovery. I have been to meetings in New York and LA that are more of a who's who in society. I feel bad for those folks, they don't get the luxury of just being another member. And we do them a great dis-service ( IMO) of putting them up on a pedestal like that. Because if you stick around long enough ( and I really hope you do!) You will get to see what happens when one of the Celebs fall. It isn't pretty. But the fellowship will always survive. As far as publicizing even within the fellowship. Why??? That does something to the meeting that takes away from the atmosphere (IMO) when people are showing up to gaze at celebrities the meeting looses out.
