How do celebrities go to AA meetings and not have their stories known publicly after?

1.42K viewsOther

As I understand artists like Eminem and many others, who have been part of AA, they go to the meetings, and talk their story. Share their experiences and etc.

I understand many of them are already public but still I am sure they share some sensitive stories there.

Of course in AA everyone is a friendly family community, but how is it possible that people don’t gossip about stuff after? Especially having a celebrity on their meeting?

So. Assume you were at Eminiem’s meeting where he first introduced himself as an alcoholic.

He most likely did not say “Hi, my name is Eminem and I’m alcoholic”. He most likely said “Hi, my name is Marshall and I’m an alcoholic”. The people who may have seen him there would probably think “Huh… he looks like that rapper…” rather than “WHOA! It’s Eminem!”

But if they leaked that “Marshall” was really Eminem, well there may also be consequences there. (Ie, getting kicked out) This is also assuming that Eminem went to one near his home – he might have gone to AA meetings in nowhere places.

“DUDE! You wouldn’t believe it! I saw EMINEM in my Alcoholics Anonymous meeting! Wait, why are you giving me that look?”

“…Are you high? We’re in Spokane.”

And finally? Sometimes they do get leaked – someone “leaked” a story about some celebritiy, but it was not only already known, but “Uh, yeah, they do work for Alcoholics anonymous.” Plus? some people like that go to private meetings.
