Those new to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) may have questions about how the program works. The principle of anonymity can be confusing for newcomers. What is anonymity? Anonymity is an essential spiritual principle for the Alcoholics Anonymous program. It may take a little while for you to comprehend what anonymity means in the AA Massachusetts program. Generally, anonymity means that your identity and comments will be held in strict confidence when you attend meetings. In the 12 Step program of Alcoholics Anonymous, anonymity is so crucial that you will not be identified, particularly in public forums like the media. It does not mean that members of AA keep their identities secret from one another. The program’s founders made it clear that full self-disclosure is essential (regarding having an alcohol addiction) when addressing one’s AA group members. Being accessible to other members who need support (especially newcomers) is an essential role of disclosure within an AA group.
