I agree with kjell on this one. Mainly because I sense that fishbowl really DOES want to recover--I know she was scared to go but she went and seems to understand she desperately needs to do this.
I don't see anything wrong with letting the court know we recognize that we have a problem and are committed to taking the necessary action to recover from our addiction. The court is supposed to base its disposition/sentence on the truth about someone. If the person is blaming everything and everybody else and not taking responsibility, it should sentence accordingly. Likewise, if the person is suffering from an addiction that contributed to the antisocial behavior but IS taking responsibility, it should sentence accordingly.
I don't see any "drama" nor anyone being dragged into anything. Any group or individual member acts in accordance with its/his/her conscience as to whether they are comfortable confirming attendance/participation in AA.
