Your're right Gypsy, SH and Odelle I will go.
The nearest major town is about 800kms/500miles away otherwise I would go there first. I was worried because my job involves me having a lot of responsibility and other meeting attendees may in fact rely on me in my professional capacity outside of AA....i must sound like such an idiot trying to explain why I'm worried others will find out given the annonymity thing....stupid really. Sometimes i have trouble putting my thought down without sounding like a dick.
I've only been to one meeting a couple of years ago when I lived in Perth and spent the whole meeting crying so didn't really absorb the whole thing...and I got there late. I remember a lady saying that her child's friends mothers found out she was alcoholic and had basically blacklisted their children from socialising with her...which is hearbreaking for the child. I guess they wouldn't have found out from her attendance at AA.
The town I live in is so small and remote there's no way I won't know at least someone there....which will probably be a blessing in disguise....as i wont feel so alone and like I'm the only alcoholic in town.
