I joined one and all my fb friends were notified. It was embarassing and I asked why the posts were not kept secret and they replied, you should be out and proud.' Another rcovery group who said all forms of recovery ideas are welcome, banned me as soon as I said I didn't attend AA anymore. They kept saying things like, 'if you don't give yourself to God you will die.' But I am still here and sober so they were quite mistaken. I give them a wide berth now.
