Understandable. My response was only in reference to you telling them about AA... I just assumed you'd openly share your other hobbies?
Even if you don't do those hobbies everyday, I'd pretend I did just to avoid telling them about the AA meetings. That's just my $0.02 based on (previously) revealing personal information at work. Ideally, I'd prefer to be open and honest but it tends to 'bite you in the butt' when you reveal (sensitive) personal information in the workplace. Never again!!
