Oh, come on people! Don't tell me I am the only one who still suffers with a fragile

ego. And who depends on anonymity as the spiritual foundation of all of our 12 Step

Programs. The AA 12X12 says that to discuss anyone even when trying to be helpful

when they are not present amounts to character assasination. When I share in the

"hallowed halls" the four walls...of the room I am in, in a meeting...I am there to either

a) save my a** or

b) help another...especially a newcomer to get sober, or stay sober...and to encourage

my fellows.

I am not there to have my story spread around other rooms or for anyone to call my

sponsor or friends with concerns. Sheeesh, I may have just been having a bad day.

I am all for "What you hear here, stays here." "Here Here!"

Great thread, MGD!
