Now, back to the show…
Tonight, the topic is
Recovery in the Digital Age
When we use digital media, we are responsible for our own anonymity
and for protecting that of others. When we post, text, or blog, we should
consider whether we are publishing at the public level. When we break
our anonymity in these forums, we may inadvertently break the anonymity
of others.
Conference approved literature clearly defines how to protect anonymity. Conference approved literature states:
A.A.s do not publicly identify themselves as A.A. members using their full names and/or full-face photos.
What technology tools do you use in recovery?
How does it help?
How do you use it?
How do you get it?
What about
- Google groups
- Texting
- Online recovery support podcast
- Online meetings
- Audible books
- CDs
- Phone calls
- Group texting apps
What about open talks?
Isn’t that breaking anonymity?
Is there anything special you use with sponsees
What do you recommend to new people?
How does technology hinder your recovery program?
Are you concerned with privacy?
How do you protect your anonymity?
Do you worry about “Normal” people finding out you are in recovery when online?
Does your home group have a technology outreach?
