What’s On Your Mind: Anonymity Online

I have a private Facebook page that consists of about 300 other alcoholics.  So if I choose to break anonymity (if you can even call it that) on my own Facebook page, I'm not telling anyone anything that they don't already know. People who don't know me don't have access to my page or my posts. It’s not like I'm walking into a large supermarket wearing AA jewelry, or God forbid, have an "Easy Does It" bumper sticker on my car. (Both of which, by the way, are considered perfectly acceptable.)  My personal Facebook page is in fact more private and secure than even an open meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous, where the general public is welcome. (Even closed meetings will still sometimes have an AA sign on the door, and non-AAs can see me walk in.) .
