Tradition Eleven: Our public relations policy is based upon attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, TV, film, and other public media. We need guard with special care the anonymity of all fellow MA members.

  • At the general public level, does the group publicize any individual MA member’s name or picture as a self-appointed representative of MA?
  • Do we protect members’ anonymity? How so?
  • Is the phone list used solely for fellowship and recovery-related purposes, and not misused to harass, flirt, seek romantic or sexual relationships, or advertise a personal product or service to members?
  • Does our phone list (or the announcement made with it) contain language about the proper use of the phone list? See MA12.org/meetingformats for suggested phone list language.
