My thought today is Anonymity. I never keep my involvement in AA a secret if I think it might help someone I know. By the same token, I do not shout it from the rooftops. Lately, I've become aware of anonymity on the internet. If I make a post on social media and state in that post that I am in AA, then all I have really done is reveal my own involvement. If you or anyone else in AA, clicks like on that post or comments that they are also in AA then I have encouraged others to break their anonymity and the best way to not do that is not to make the post in the first place. I used to say that I was never worried who saw me staggering or crawling home from the bar so why should I worry about who knows I'm in AA. But, it is my responsibility to protect AA and if it ever breaks apart, it will be from within, so I'll do my part to keep that from happening. All this assumes that I am in AA.
