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?

When you’re in AA, you come to view everyone else in AA as just another alcoholic. All the traditions of the fellowship underscore this idea. It’s why everyone introduces themselves by saying “My name is X, and I am an alcoholic.” Who you are outside the rooms is meaningless inside — and what you say in the rooms stays there.
Famous people in AA can’t really hide their identity. People know who they are. But it just … doesn’t matter. Their story isn’t yours to tell, and you wouldn’t imagine sharing it outside the rooms. You just _wouldn’t._ If you’re the kind of person who would go around violating people’s anonymity and repeating what you heard in the meetings, you’re just not going to be in AA in the first place.
