Anonymity
From Alcoholics Anonymous — Original 1939 Edition by Wilson, Bill & Smith, Dr. Bob
Anonymity protects members and emphasizes principles over personalities. In 1939 it was already practiced, though the Twelfth Tradition formalizing its spiritual meaning came later.
Title of the book
The very title 'Alcoholics Anonymous' embeds the principle of anonymity from the outset.
