West Virginia Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) groups (and all other AA chapters across the country) employ the program’s 12-Traditions, one of which (the 11th Tradition) has to do with a promise of anonymity to all AA attendees. You may be wondering about the significance of this Tradition. Historically, the early AA founders found that newcomers were afraid of public exposure. Back in the early 1930s, when AA was beginning, society viewed addiction as a sign of character weakness. Protecting the AA members from exposure on a personal and public level led to a higher chance of a newcomer getting involved in the program. This safeguard provides a level of confidence for many people new to the AA program. The 11th Tradition ensures all AA members keep from disclosing member’s names to those outside the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous. In compliance with the 11th Tradition, when an AA meeting is publicly announced, it’s given a specific code name that is universally recognized. The code name is “Friends of Bill W.” Bill W. was the founder of AA. Whenever you see an announcement for a meeting for Friends of Bill W., you will know it’s an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.
