Hey Fordman_mustang ----
DON'T READ THIS; it's gonna be a bit more re: AA, but since I was asked a question I figured I'd answer it.....besides, if you don't wanna read anything about AA or AA people, just stop reading at the first 'AA.'
Hey Taz....I believe there was a paragraph in what I copied from the AA.org website regarding our own anonymity with our personal friends.....:
"In our personal relationships with nonalcoholics—
and with those we think might have a problem
with alcohol—we may feel free to say that we are
recovering alcoholics (without divulging the names
of other A.A. members), although discretion is
recommended. Here our openness may help to carry
the message."
Since I no longer go to meetings I've found many ways to carry the message, and one place was at work with my work buddies....most of them knew I'm a recovered alcoholic/addict and they often come to me with questions and asking for help for either themselves or family members..... (o:

P.S. OK fordman_mustang........you can go back to reading..... lol
