This. I don't flaunt my recovery outside of AA, but I don't freak out any more if someone walks into a meeting who I know from outside the rooms. It has actually happened surprisingly few times. And when it does, I remind myself that the world doesn't revolve around me, and they are going through their own pain at the moment and couldn't care less about me.
