Why is it called Alcoholics Anonymous when the first thing you do is stand up and say, ‘My name is (—–) and I am an alcoholic’?
I have even heard that they keep a list of everyone that joins. Also some People that are in AA are court Ordered to be there. Well, So much for anonymous,
What do you think? Tell us below!
they are anonymous!
not the group 
they are a legion!
a group of anonymous…anonymous to the public
thats what i think !
its an interesting question
It’s anonymous because as a rule your name is not published or available to anyone except in rare cases tp the law.
The only way to actually cure a problem, is to admit and realize you have one, that’s why the opening statement.
I believe the lists are not published and not available except to law enforcement agencies, and when people introduce themselves, they don’t say “My name is … And my last name is … And I live here and work here”.
I went there i lied about my name.but others saw me.afterwards a few of us had drinks for old times sake..it doesn,t work for everyone.it actually teed me off listening to that.i remember spilling coffee all over.then they had the nerve to say don,t come back when you,re drunk.so.i never went back.did it myself and the man above…
