My sponsor told me in early recovery, you break your own anonymity when you pick up a drink.
When I go downtown, people who use to be in the program, tend to want to ignore me, I am the last person they want to say. Because I did so many meeting for so long, from one end of the city to the other, I knew a lot of people. As my first boyfriend in AA said, "Oh, I has a program, some days, I chose not to use it." He had never gotten a year sober. He celebrated his one year when we started seeing each other. He died of leukemia 7 years sober after he had been working in a treatment center for 5 years. He had a great message to carry. I was known for a 50 mile radius when I was using, so in today, I don't care who knows that I am clean and sober.
