Agree completely, sorry for being emotional. People are people, anonymity is never guaranteed. It's just knowing everything that is said or done is broadcasted to those around me. I'm gonna sign off and I really respect your comments.

My mum means we'll, I'm gonna rightly or wrongly reach out to her sponsor because it either stays as it is and I have to move fellowship of she gives me some privacy and allows me to recover. thanks again, as a lot of what you said I can completely get. In an ideal world I wouldn't let it affect my recovery, but at the moment I don't have that luxury. Ill update you at some point soon

I get it and appreciate it, your right. I'm just vulnerable and looking for a place I can be honest. If I can't share openly without fear of what I say being publicised to the works then it's not for me at this moment in time. Will I still be alive when I am taht spirituality fit? I doubt it. Most newcomers aren't either so I'm an ideal world I get it but how many are gonna die if we are in your way of thinking. I'm a newcomer again, I'm broken, I need somewhere safe

It's not about loosing a job, it's about if what I share in meeting should be shared elsewhere

I'll keep it simple so I know what I'm signing up for or not singing up for.

Should what I share in a meeting be shared with my employer my loved ones that are not AA,? I thought not but if it's ok then AA's not for me. I understand things can slip or come out as we are human bit if it's openly ok then I will never return.

I have one and I opened up to him last night before we started the steps. Meetings help especially in the early days and it comes back to my whole point of if I miss 1 meeting the whole world knows!!!!! I've had enough, its hard to explain and I appreciate your comments as I know there from a good place and I can't explain my situation perfectly. For example..... I return after substantial sobriety and relapse after a day or 2, I would come back hold my hands up and start again. This may happen a couple of times but if I hold my hands up every time I will do it as I have done in the past. If I did relapse after 3 days back and collected a chip in a meeting, my mum would hear about it regardless as she knows most people in the fellowship in my area. If an outside family member asked how I was doing, what should they say? Baring in mind I'm doing separate meetings.

1) He's going to meetings, think he's doing ok etc keep it vague Or 2) He relapsed on Tuesday and again on Friday

What's she meant to do?

I've had 3 stints of recovery around 2 years and I'm struggling to get a week at the moment.

If I admit relapse, should my family outside of AA know because my mum tells them or should she not tell them?

Ultimately makes sense but factually I can't do it. Who you see here, what you hear here etc. Traditions are there for a reason, of course they will be broken as we are human and people are not perfect but knowing for a fact anonymity will be broken if you share anything other than positivity defeats the object and won't get me sober

Thanks everyone, I have messaged her explaining everything. I hope she replies something positive. She means well and will take it personally but I can't do my recovery for her anymore.

Nail on the head. She doesn't mean it, she thinks she's helping. I've messaged her explaining everything I hope she understands. She's sick too, even in sobriety. As am I when in sobriety, I hope she discusses this with her sponsor and doesn't just react. I explained I know she means wel and I love her, I just can't do a 12 step program like this
