I'd love to be able to say I've never experienced discrimination because of being in recovery but I actually lost a job because I let it slip that I was in AA...and it was particularly frustrating because I was working for a women's domestic violence agency; an organization that I thought would be pretty understanding about recovery.

I normally wouldn't feel inclined to hide my 'sobriety' activities from anyone since they're such a part of my life and I'm not ashamed of being in recovery at all, but I have to vote against disclosing this type of information to employers.
