i kinda agree with the goochster! i had no quams about being wasted! i wore it like a badge of honor!
i don't offer that i'm in AA, but if asked i don't deny either!
i have to remember that the people beside me in AA are the same people that were out there with me, and only but a few have changed. we can only work this program to the best of our abilities, not perfectly. and i am no where's near perfect!! why should i expect others to be perfect.
as for blatantly giving up peoples anonimity....... if it is someone from the rooms i try to take them aside and discuss what traditon 12 means, if this doesn't work i bring it to a group conscience.
for those outside of AA there is really nothing we can do, *cough*powerlessnesssucks!*cough*
but me, i try my best not to talk outside the rooms, or even about others inside the rooms, and this ticks off lots of AA's who also suffer from the disease of gossipism, LOL. i am very involved in AA today, and i am privledged to lots of good dirt! but i say nothing to no-one about it! when asked if i've heard about so and so, i say no, and when being told i'll say it's none of my business! when asked about personal stuff involving the people i'm close with i try to say politely that you'd have to ask them.
i do this mainly because it's the way i would expect to be treated.
