*~*~*~*~*^ Big Book Quote ^*~*~*~*~*
"We families of Alcoholics Anonymous keep few skeletons in the
closet. Everyone knows about the others' alcoholic troubles. This
is a condition which, in ordinary life, would produce untold grief;
there might be scandalous gossip, laughter at the expense of other
people, and a tendency to take advantage of intimate information.
Among us, these are rare occurrences. We do talk about each other a
great deal, but we almost invariably temper such talk by a spirit of
love and tolerance."
~Alcoholics Anonymous, The Family Afterward, pg. 125~

Sometimes though it is gossip which is harmful to others. I used to be bothered by this a lot but I was told my my sponsor as well as others that "What others think of me is none of my business." Sometimes I let people rent to much space in my head. But as time rolls along I find prayer is a worthy solution.
