* In a message originally to Hawke, Richard Miles said:
Due to the nature of the "Anonymous" part of the recovery
programs I see no reason why not to allow aliases in this
conference. Any objections?
I would tend to agree. Personally I don't care. I went to
meetings for 20 years or so and with running three restaurants in
a small town, everyone knows who I am anyway. Small towns are
like that.
I fall into the category of "an adult child of an alcoholic" my dad
would not attend a meeting unless it met two criteria. #1 it was a
part of town he did not have business or live in. And #2 it had
parking where he could sneak in and out quickly and his car would not
be noticed from the street.
There are many who won't go to a meeting unless the "anonymous" part
is met. I want people to work this program... Dad would be with me
now if only he would have truly worked the program.
I also applaud my stepmother for doing all she could to help him. But
he was very self conscious, even though I knew he was an alcoholic and
I guess most of the world he lived in knew as well.

... But it has to look legal!
