Anonymity
From Alcoholics Anonymous — 1955 Second Edition by Wilson, Bill & Smith, Dr. Bob
Anonymity is AA's spiritual foundation, ensuring placement of principles before personalities and protecting members at the level of press, radio, and films. It guards both individual members and the fellowship as a whole from ego and exploitation.
