Re: Anonymous

When I purchased and secured my 2nd drunk driving charge my hubby
suggested I check myself into counselling cuz the Judge was going to
order it anyway. It took me 2 weeks to make that call for an
appointment.. I was so scarred.

The Counsellor there kept suggesting I get to an AA meeting. I kept
forgetting about it. My excuse ... Im from a small town, what if I
see somebody I know ? Her reply ... Oh, okay. So, its alright if
somebody see's you falling off a barstool or see's your name in the
local paper for dui charges then right ?

I have sadly discovered that it is ( or seems to be ) more acceptable
to be seen walking, crawling, or even stumbling in or out of a bar
then it is to be noticed attending an AA meeting.

I am not ashamed or embarrassed anymore. Nor do I run around shouting
that Im a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. I believe in our traditions
and think the 12th tradition is of the utmost importance.
I am anonymous when I want to be and carry the message when I need
to.
