We maintain our anonymity at the level of press, radio, and film. Keeping our anonymity at the level of local meetings is a violation of the tradition. If a member gets sick and is in the hospital, we can't go see them if we don't know their full name. At the level of press, radio, and film when discussing the program we are to identify ourselves as such- My name is Elizabeth and I am an alcoholic omitting our personal name.
