Tradition Eleven: 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.

  1. Do I sometimes promote AA so fanatically that I make it seem unattractive?

  2. Am I always careful to keep the confidences reposed in me as an AA member?

  3. Am I careful about throwing AA names around--even within the Fellowship?

  4. Am I ashamed of being a recovered, or recovering, alcoholic?
