why is it called alcoholics anonymous, addicts anonymous etc. when you say your name when you introduce yourself?
In: Other
It’s anonymous in that nobody gives last names and you do not talk about anything discussed during the meetings or about anyone you see/meet at the meetings. You’re not anonymous to eachother, you and your story is anonymous to the world outside the group. The significance of that can sometimes be difficult to understand for someone who’s never been to a meeting, but it really is a big deal for them.
