A.A. Anonymity
"Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather
than promotion; we need always maintain personal
anonymity at the level of press, radio and films."
Thus, we respectfully ask that A.A. speakers and A.A. members not be photographed, videotaped, or identified by full name on audio tapes and in published or broadcast reports of our meetings, including those reports on
new media technologies such as the Internet.
The assurance of anonymity is essential in our efforts to help other
problem drinkers who may wish to share our recovery program with us.
And our Tradition of anonymity reminds us that
"A.A. principles come before personalities."
